PRIORITIZE WITH THE EISENHOWER MATRIX Organize every task into four clear quadrants: • Do Now — Urgent and important. Handle it immediately. • Schedule — Important but not urgent. Plan it for later. • Delegate — Urgent but not important. Hand it off. • Delete — Neither urgent nor important. Let it go. See your entire workload at a glance on the Home Matrix.
