What is a Priority Matrix?
“Urgent things are seldom important and important things are seldom
urgent.”
President Eisenhower

The Priority Matrix
How to Ensure the Most Important Things Get Done
The Problem….
• We let the urgent sidetrack us from our priorities
• We can let the urgency of others warp our perception of what’s
truly important
• And, we let the routines and habits of “trivial activities” suck the
value from our days.

Why Is This Model So Powerful?
• Keeps the important stuff front and
center
• Helps with prioritization
• Increases your focus and your
confidence
• Working on the stuff that matters
