Today we will tell you about a method that will help you to properly allocate time in the educational process. It is especially recommended to use it when you need to prepare for several important exams at the same time.
The Eisenhower Matrix is one of the most popular time management tools. The founder of this matrix is the 34th President of the United States, Dwight David Eisenhower.
How to build a matrix? First, state in your mind the goal you are striving for. Next, divide the field into 4 quadrants and distribute all your affairs according to them, correlating them with the set goal.
Tasks A "Urgent - Important"
Cases that are very important and urgent. These things need to be done today, first of all and without fail. Examples of important and urgent matters: doing work that is about to be due, an urgent visit to the doctor, or an urgent phone call.
Objectives B "Not urgent - Important"
These affairs are the most important and promising, and it is from them that the daily tasks of any person should consist. It has been noticed that people who are mainly engaged in the affairs of this quadrant achieve the greatest success in life, get promoted, earn more money and have enough free time. An example is solving problems to prepare for the exam.
Tasks C "Urgent - Not important"
Most of the activities in this quadrant are distracting and do not bring a person closer to the intended results. Often, they simply interfere with focusing on the really important tasks and reduce efficiency. For example, all sorts of unplanned, imposed meetings that cannot be refused.
Objectives D "Not urgent - Not important"
The tasks in the last quadrant are of no use at all. In many cases, it is useful not only to tackle them last, but also not to tackle them at all. Although you definitely need to know about them, tk. they are the “time eaters”. These tasks include watching TV, long chats with friends on the Internet, and the like.
As soon as you master the Eisenhower matrix and learn how to correctly distribute your affairs within it, you will notice that you have a lot of new free time, you have time to do everything in a timely manner and without haste.
