Dwight Eisenhower was a remarkable man. He served as the Supreme Commander of military forces and one of the chief architects of Operation Overlord (the Normandy invasion) that ultimately defeated Germany and Italy in the Second World War. During his tenure as 34th President of United States of America, he consolidated the USA as an economic and military superpower, started the Interstate Highway System (one of the biggest civil construction projects in history), founded NASA and DARPA, and forewarned about the threat of military-industrial complex.
And when he found some time from all of this, he created the Eisenhower Matrix.
Eisenhower Matrix is a simple yet highly effective productivity tool. It consists of four quadrants along two axes (Important vs. Non Important, Urgent vs. NonUrgent) and provides a guideline for what you should for a set of tasks in each quadrant. Important and Urgent tasks must be done by you and on priority, Non-Important but Urgent tasks can be delegated, and so on.
This Matrix can be extrapolated and modified in a variety of ways depending on individual preference. This infographic shows a couple of them.
