Ideally this category should always be
empty. It includes really important and
pressing tasks, force major etc. which
must be done immediately. If this category
is always filled, it means there is something
wrong with your time management.

DO FIRST
These are important tasks which very
soon can become urgent. They demand
close attention and should be timely
accomplished, which will help to develop
your professional and personal skills.
EXAMPLES:
– Planning new projects
– Analyzing the achieved results
– Going to the gym

SUMMARY:Eisenhower considered this category
the most important. Planning a task ahead
means you have as much time as you need
to accomplish it.

As a rule, tasks from this category don’t
help you to achieve your goals and are
not really important. They are more likely
to distract your attention from other
activities and waste your time. It’s better
to delegate these tasks to other people.
EXAMPLES:
– Sending invitations
– Unplanned meetings
– Unexpected guests

SUMMARY:These tasks take a lot of time to do,
but they are not important for you. Try to
delegate them to others if it’s possible.

DO FIRST
The most dangerous category of activities:
you do them to switch away from work,
but they don’t help you to reach your
goals. However, you enjoy doing them.
These are the so-called «time-wasters»
which you should reduce.
EXAMPLES:
– Social nets
– Computer games
– Long chatting on the phone

SUMMARY:It’s better to cut down on these
tasks or avoid them at all, because they
reduce your efficiency.
