Well being a productive is not only important to teenagers & students only, but apparently YES!.
Being productive is a key to the success, but is isn't always easy to be productive. In fact, at times or sometimes it become extremely difficult to stay on task.
But why are some people so much better at it than others?
“winners don't do different things , they do things differently” says Shiv Khera
Well as a student we not only study, we also have to accomplish all daily chores of our life. Whereas we see our colleagues or other peoples who are doing so much better although having a same life of yours and in between we not able to fulfill the gap. The problem is that we are not scheduled, organized and have not prioritize our work properly and due to that we have to face heavy turmoil because of having an unorganized life.
Well, to fulfill the gap I'll show you a trick which we'll guide you lifetime and help you to achieve your goals and will keep you in track.
Named after former 34th U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, this prioritization framework will help you organize your tasks and activities by importance and urgency. It's especially useful when you're very busy but don't feel like what you do has much impact.
How Eisenhower Matrix Framework Works ?
Eisenhower Matrix is a trick of deciding which task is to perform when on the bases of important and urgency and validate it based on the priority.
The Eisenhower Matrix has four quadrants along two axis:
Important And Urgency
For every task you want to accomplish before starting with the work you have to ask yourself out: it is important enough or not? It is urgent or not?.
Based on the answer, place the work/task on the right quadrant. The quadrant will decide based on it's selected quadrant.
1. Important and urgent → Do it now.
- This tasks need a immediate action delay in work will not compromise.
- Procrastinating in work and other things where not acting now has negative
consequences.
2. Important but not urgent → Schedule it.
Schedule the task and do it later.
This quadrant is basically for your long term goals and where deep works happen - goals such as your career goals, your assignment, projects, exercise, gym and so on.
Delaying in work not affect much as this quadrant is about your long term goal activity/works.
3. Urgent but not important → Delegate it/errand it.
If you can, find someone who can do these tasks in behalf you will be more adequate.
Urgent but not important tasks are things that prevent you from achieving your goals.
Ask yourself whether you can reschedule or delegate them. A common source of such activities is other people.
4. Not urgent and not important → Don't do it/avoid it.
This quadrant is all about futile activities that does not have any outcome.
Mostly entertainment and fun activities goes into this quadrant.
Remember! important-but-not-urgent tasks come before urgent-but-not-important, avoiding important task will affect your long term goal. Whereas urgent work can be errand it to someone as it's not your goal these are basically extra activity that comes without knowing.
If you're bewildered with a term important and urgent, let me clarify it.
âť—Important activities have an outcome that leads to us achieving our goals, whether these are professional or personal such as losing weight, learn piano etc.
⚠️ Urgent activities demand immediate attention, and are usually associated with achieving someone else's goals such as writing a email, picking up someone from station or an airport.
🎯 Goal of an Eisenhower framework is to make you productive by helping you prioritize the work and activities in your life. It's not magical but it will definitely affect your life.
Yep! That's all about Eisenhower Matrix, you could use it in your life to prioritize your professional life and personal life or both. Planning your day vs prioritizing activities in your life.
