Another week, another inbox cleared. The thing you actually wanted to move forward hasn't moved at all. Same as last week.

The Eisenhower Matrix is Dwight Eisenhower's task-sorting framework. Plot every task on two axes: how urgent, how important. Four quadrants. Q1 urgent and important: do now. Q2 important but not urgent: schedule. Q3 urgent but not important: delegate. Q4 neither: drop.

A 2x2 matrix with axes labelled important (low to high) and urgent (low to high), splitting tasks into four quadrants: do now, schedule, delegate, and drop.
