description	Apply Eisenhower matrix (urgent/important) to prioritize tasks or decisions
argument-hint	[tasks or leave blank for current context]

Apply the Eisenhower matrix to $ARGUMENTS (or the current discussion if no arguments provided).

Categorize items by urgency and importance to clarify what to do now, schedule, delegate, or eliminate.

1. List all tasks, decisions, or items in scope 2. Evaluate each on two axes: - Important: Contributes to long-term goals/values - Urgent: Requires immediate attention, has deadline pressure 3. Place each item in appropriate quadrant 4. Provide specific action for each quadrant

<output_format> Q1: Do First (Important + Urgent)

• Item: [specific action, deadline if applicable]

Q2: Schedule (Important + Not Urgent)

• Item: [when to do it, why it matters long-term]

Q3: Delegate (Not Important + Urgent)

• Item: [who/what can handle it, or how to minimize time spent]

Q4: Eliminate (Not Important + Not Urgent)

• Item: [why it's noise, permission to drop it]

Immediate Focus: Single sentence on what to tackle right now. </output_format>

<success_criteria>

• Every item clearly placed in one quadrant
• Q1 items have specific next actions
• Q2 items have scheduling recommendations
• Q3 items have delegation or minimization strategies
• Q4 items explicitly marked as droppable
• Reduces overwhelm by creating clear action hierarchy </success_criteria>
