What is the Eisenhower Matrix?

The Eisenhower Matrix, also called the Priority Matrix, is a time management tool attributed to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It sorts tasks by urgency and importance into four quadrants: Urgent & Important (Do), Important & Not Urgent (Schedule), Urgent & Not Important (Delegate), Not Urgent & Not Important (Eliminate).

What do the four quadrants mean?

Q1 Urgent & Important: Crises, deadlines — do immediately. Q2 Important & Not Urgent: Learning, planning, fitness — invest most time here. Q3 Urgent & Not Important: Most meetings, interruptions — delegate. Q4 Not Urgent & Not Important: Social media, mindless browsing — eliminate.

How do I use this tool?

1) Type a task and select its quadrant. 2) Click Add to place it. 3) Drag tasks between quadrants as priorities change. 4) Delete tasks when complete.

Does it save my tasks?

Yes. Tasks are saved to your browser's localStorage and will restore automatically when you revisit. No data is ever uploaded to any server.

Can I print the matrix?

Yes. Click 'Print Matrix' to output via browser print — perfect for paper or PDF.

Is it mobile-friendly?

Fully responsive. Works smoothly on phones and tablets.
