The Best Way To Prioritize Tasks

I learned this from the Eisenhower Decision Matrix and I've used it in many settings.

Is it important?Is it urgent?Will it take 2 minutes or less?Then do it now.

2 Minute Action:

Line up your tasks for today.

1. If a task is important and urgent, give it a [1].
2. If it's important but not urgent, give it a [2].
3. If it's not important but it's urgent, give it a [3].
4. If it's neither important nor urgent, give it a [4].

If it takes 2 minutes or less to do any of these tasks, put a * in front of it.Do all the *[1]s first.
