Eisenhower Matrix File Excel

The document explains how to use the Eisenhower matrix to prioritize tasks. The matrix divides tasks into four quadrants based on their urgency and importance: 1) urgent and important, 2) not urgent but important, 3) urgent but not important, and 4) not urgent and not important. Tasks in each quadrant should be handled differently - quadrant 1 tasks must be done immediately, quadrant 2 tasks scheduled, quadrant 3 tasks delegated, and quadrant 4 tasks deleted.
