In order to get things done, 34th US President Dwight David Eisenhower used his methodology for prioritizing tasks, delegating or rejecting them entirely, which formed the basis of the Eisenhower matrix application.

« Faster Eisenhower Analysis. This principle is auxiliary in cases where it is necessary to urgently make a decision on the priority of tasks. Priorities are set according to criteria such as the urgency and importance of the task. They are classified into four groups:

• urgent (important) tasks. They are performed by the manager;
• urgent (less important) tasks. The manager can delegate their decision to others;
• less urgent (important) tasks. The manager does not need to solve them immediately, but he can solve them later himself;
• less urgent (less important) tasks. The manager must outsource their decision to others.
