# Eisenhower Matrix A prioritization framework to organize tasks according to their importance and urgency: - Urgent and important: Do - Do it now - Urgent but not important: Delegate - Who can do it for me/us? - Not urgent but important: Decide - Schedule a time to do it - Not urgent and not important: Forget - Eliminate it. No need to waste time on those [[The urgent present vs the important future]] — [[Dwidght D. Eisenhower]] We should all use it more regularly. Often times we make lists of things to do, but fail to properly prioritize those. That's a common issue  with lists; entries all look alike, while they might have vastly different "costs", urgency and importance. It's even more difficult to deal with this across multiple projects.
