The Eisenhower Matrix is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, who served from 1953 to 1961. Eisenhower had a distinguished military career before being elected President. He fought in World War I and afterwards produced a handbook to the war's battlefields. He also served in France, Washington, the Philippines, and the Pacific Theater of World War II. The Army Chief commended Eisenhower for his participation in preparing military exercises involving over 50,000 soldiers. He rose through the ranks due to his amazing knowledge, excellent organisation, and social abilities, which allowed him to get along with people and mediate relationships. 3 Both the Democratic and Republican parties wanted Eisenhower to represent them because of this skill. He left the military after 37 years of duty to run for President of the Republican Party, with Richard Nixon as his running mate. Eisenhower was a highly busy guy with a lot on his plate. He was very competent and managed his many tasks with elegance, grace, and efficiency. Following his presidency, Eisenhower made a speech at the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches, a Christian fellowship. In his address, he referenced J. Roscoe Miller, Northwestern University's 12th president, who remarked, \\"The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent.\\" Eisenhower recognised the need of smart and efficient time management and wanted to assist folks in navigating their priorities. Inspired by Miller, Eisenhower said that in order to succeed, one must accomplish things that are both urgent and important: therefore, the Eisenhower Matrix was established.
