Hello everyone, welcome to my weekly audio journal.
Today I'd like to talk about the Eisenhower two by two decision matrix.
Lately I've been finding myself inundated with a lot of tasks and I've been getting lost in the process. So I recently revisited, the Eisenhower two by two matrix and that is grouping tasks into either: urgent and important, urgent not important, important not urgent and finally not important not urgent. And as a quick summary, important and urgent is something you need to do now. Important and not urgent is something you can reschedule. Urgent and not important you can try to delegate. And of course not important and not urgent try to eliminate.
This has really helped me take a higher level overview of my daily tasks that I need to get through and prioritise them.
Another element that I add at the end of the day is putting next to these task items that I do end up completing. If they end up using my unique ability or is it something I'm excellent at, but I don't have passion for it. Or am I simply competent at it and finally if it's something I am incompetent at. By adding this level of detail I'm better able to audit my week. By seeing how many important tasks I'm actually doing and if these important tasks aligned with my unique ability. The goal for me is to spend majority of my time doing important tasks that utilise or nurture and grow my unique ability.
Thank you everyone for listening
