When working on any project (or even in personal life), it’s a common mistake that we are not focusing on what really matters at a given time. This could highly impact the project deliverables (and personal matters too).

34th president of the United States and five-star general, Dwight D. Eisenhower organized his tasks using this principle. Based on that, Dr. Stephen Covey converted it and called it as “Urgent-Important Matrix” in his book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”.

You can apply this simplest mantra for your day-to-day work, easy-peasy. Ask the right question from yourself before you start any task.

Do Now, if it’s urgent and important
Do Soon, if it’s not Urgent but Important (schedule it)
Do Later, if it’s urgent but not important
Do Last, if it’s not urgent and not important (add to the backlog 😉 )

Start to use your time wisely!
