Eisenhower matrix

The Eisenhower Matrix is ​​a tool for prioritizing tasks according to two dimensions: importance and urgency.

Definition

The matrix helps to separate things that are really important from those that only scream deadlines or pressure from the environment. It divides tasks into four fields: important and urgent, important and not urgent, unimportant and urgent, and unimportant and not urgent. Its value lies in retrieving decisions over time, not in mechanically filling out the table.
