Frequently asked questions
What is the Eisenhower Matrix?
A 2×2 prioritization framework popularised by US President Eisenhower that sorts tasks by Urgent/Not urgent × Important/Not important into Do, Schedule, Delegate or Eliminate.
Why do urgent tasks crowd out important ones in practice?
Urgency is loud — deadlines, notifications, people asking. Importance is quiet — long-term goals, deep work, prevention. The matrix forces you to schedule the Important-but-not-Urgent quadrant explicitly, because nobody else will. Block time for Quadrant 2 weekly or it disappears.
Can I print or share?
Export as PNG/SVG to share or print, or JSON to keep editing later (also on another device after import).
