idea
The Eisenhower matrix is a method to determine and prioritize a list of todos. It takes two axises into account: importance and urgency. Important and urgent things get done right away. Important but not urgent things get scheduled. Urgent but not important things get delegated. Neither important nor urgent things are not done.
| - | Urgent | Not urgent |
|---|---|---|
| Important | Do first | Schedule |
| Not important | Delegate | Don't do |
Importance is whether the task helps accomplishing your goal.
Urgency is whether the task is required soon.
