Do you have a lot to do but don't know where to start?
The Eisenhower Decision Matrix can help you figure it out!
Start by writing down a list of all of the tasks you need to do.
Categorize Tasks
Next, categorize each task into one of four quadrants based on importance and urgency.
Focus most of your time on the important tasks in the top two quadrants.
Do First
Complete tasks that are both important and urgent first.
Important tasks usually have consequences if they don't get done.
Urgent tasks usually have an upcoming deadline in the next two days.
