A matrix is made up of four quadrants titled as follows: Important - Urgent Important - Not Urgent Not Important - Urgent Not Important - Not Urgent Tasks are assigned to the quadrants according to their respective priorities. Those placed in the first quadrant should be addressed immediately. Those in the second quadrant are less dire, but should be scheduled to ensure they’re addressed at some point in the near future. Tasks in the third quadrant can be delegated to others while tasks in the fourth quadrant can be abandoned.
