Eisenhower Matrix

Are you feeling overwhelmed to some degree? Are you delegating effectively? 

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, leaving us unsure of where to begin.

In times of crises (as this is) Dwight Eisenhower, former US President and WW2 General focused on two criteria – importance and urgency.

Covey popularized a matrix using these criteria which can be adapted for current conditions. On one axis is importance, and on the other is urgency.

When you need to prioritize your assignments, this matrix can help you decide when you can delegate, eliminate, or postpone the less essential in order to focus on what is mission critical.
