Determining priorities involves assessing tasks based on their urgency and importance. One effective tool for this is the Eisenhower Matrix, which categorizes tasks into four quadrants:
Important and urgent Important but not urgent Not important but urgent Not important and not urgent
Tasks in the first quadrant should be tackled immediately, while those in the second should be scheduled. Tasks in the third quadrant can be delegated, and those in the fourth can be eliminated or postponed.
