What is the Eisenhower matrix?
The Eisenhower Matrix is a simple decision-making tool that helps you define what tasks are important, what tasks are not important, which are urgent, and which tasks are not urgent. The matrix splits tasks into four boxes so you can easily prioritize which tasks you should focus on first and which you should delegate or delete.
How do I use the Eisenhower matrix template?
Xtensio’s Eisenhower matrix template is simple to use. Add tasks to each list according to prioritization, marks statuses of each task item and move items between lists as needed. Here are a few basic principles to keep in mind when creating an Eisenhower matrix:
- List down all the projects or tasks you have to do as list items. Even if you think a task if minimal or unimportant, if it takes time to do, add it to the list.
- Put each of the tasks/ projects you listed into one of the four categories in the Eisenhower matrix: Do First, Schedule (next), Delegate, and Don’t Do.
- In the Do First list, add the tasks that are both urgent and important. You should focus on these tasks first and they should be completed immediately.
- The tasks in the second quadrant “Schedule” are important, but not urgent. These are tasks that will affect your long-term goals and should therefore be schduled for prioritization next.
- In the third quadrant “Delegate”, list tasks that are not important, but urgent. You can assign these tasks to someone else while keeping your time for those tasks that are actually important for you to focus on (i.e. items in the first and second lists).
- Tasks that are neither important nor urgent should be listed in the fourth quadrant. You can eliminate these tasks.
- Share your Eisenhower matrix with your colleagues by inviting them to collaborate. Or share a link so they can see the progress as items move forward in your workflow.
