Eisenhower Matrix To-do List

Not all tasks are created equal. The Eisenhower Matrix helps you sort to-dos by urgency and importance, ensuring you focus energy where it matters most. This Notion template provides a ready-to-use quadrant-based system to categorize tasks as Do First, Schedule, Delegate, or Eliminate. Gain control of your workload and minimize time-wasting activities.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Four Quadrant Board: Tasks automatically sort into Urgent-Important, Important-Not Urgent, Urgent-Not Important, and Not Urgent-Not Important.
• Color-Coded Priorities: Distinct visual indicators highlight which tasks demand immediate attention and which can be planned or delegated.
• Quick Add Task Form: Input new tasks with a few clicks—just mark their urgency and importance levels, and let the matrix do the rest.
• Focus & Efficiency: By consistently using this matrix, you’ll quickly learn to say no to unimportant tasks and free up time for high-value activities.
• Optional Deadline & Assignment Fields: For teams or individuals who want to go deeper, you can set due dates or delegate tasks to colleagues.

How to Use:

1. Duplicate & Open the Board: After duplication, open the “Eisenhower Matrix” board in Notion. You’ll see four columns (the quadrants).
2. Add Tasks: Use the “New Task” button to add items. In the pop-up, you’ll choose “High/Low Urgency” and “High/Low Importance,” automatically placing it in the correct quadrant.
3. Review Each Morning: Check your “Urgent & Important” column first. Then schedule tasks in the “Important, Not Urgent” column, see if you can delegate tasks in “Not Important, Urgent,” and consider eliminating those in “Not Important, Not Urgent.”
4. Reassess Weekly: Tasks can move quadrants as circumstances change. A weekly review helps you maintain an up-to-date matrix.
5. Watch Your Productivity Grow: Over time, you’ll notice fewer tasks in the “Urgent & Important” box as you proactively handle important work before it becomes urgent.

Take charge of your priorities! Grab the Eisenhower Matrix To-do List (Notion) template and start making time for what really matters—minimize distractions, conquer deadlines, and reduce stress.
