The Eisenhower Matrix is based on the difference between important and urgent jobs. Urgent jobs are time-sensitive and need your immediate attention. They are chores that you feel bound to do. When you concentrate on urgent chores, you are in a reactive mentality, which may make you feel defensive, hurried, and narrowly focused. Important duties contribute to the long-term purpose, values, and objectives of your organisation. They may not provide quick effects (making them easy to neglect). Important things are sometimes urgent – but not always. Putting your attention on critical activities puts you in a receptive mindset, which may make you feel calm, reasonable, and open to new ideas. Essential: If you put off important duties for too long, they might become urgent. People have a tendency to assume that all urgent jobs are likewise essential, even when they are not. This misconception may be due to our tendency to concentrate on short-term issues and solutions.
