Time Management Matrix

Look at the square matrix and jot your business tasks numbers into the quadrants. This process will help you prioritise your important tasks and help delegate or eliminate the tasks that aren't important.

The matrix is divided into 4 quadrants in a square with a small section on the middle.

The top left quadrant is Urgent and Important. It is marked yellow and for tasks which are 'Priority - do first'.

The top right quadrant is Not Urgent but Important. It is marked green and for tasks which are 'Important - schedule'.

The bottom left quadrant is Urgent yet Not Important. It is marked red and for tasks which are 'Delegate - others can do'.

The bottom right quadrant is Not Urgent and Not Important. It is marked grey and for tasks which are 'Do last - only if you have time'.

The middle section is marked pink and is the 'Can Do - but down the list' importance.
