The Eisenhower Matrix

The Eisenhower Matrix consists of four different boxes to help you get things done.

Do

Keep this down to 3-5 tasks; the more tasks you add the less that will actually get done.

When you get two things done, you are almost halfway through your tasks!

Are you in revenue generating mode or organization mode?

Do you need to generate more revenue or focus on streamlining your business?

Delegate

How much is your time worth? (Think down to your hourly rate)

Can you pay someone $10 – $15 an hour to take care of the little tasks?

Your assistant is your best accountability partner.

Plan

These are the things you need to take care of the future.

This is similar to the do category, but look at this as more of a place for long term tasks.
