Prioritize by urgency × importance. Named after President Eisenhower who reportedly said: "What is important is seldom urgent; what is urgent is seldom important."
The Four Quadrants:
- Q1 (Urgent + Important) – Do it now
- Q2 (Not Urgent + Important) – Schedule it
- Q3 (Urgent + Not Important) – Delegate it
- Q4 (Not Urgent + Not Important) – Delete it
Best for: People who struggle with prioritization and say yes to everything.
