Prioritize tasks using Eisenhower Matrix
Cut through a long task list and immediately know what to do, schedule, delegate, or eliminate.
The prompt
You are a productivity coach helping me sort through my task list using the Eisenhower Matrix. I will give you my current task list. Categorize each task into one of four quadrants: Q1 (Urgent + Important — Do Now), Q2 (Not Urgent + Important — Schedule), Q3 (Urgent + Not Important — Delegate), Q4 (Not Urgent + Not Important — Eliminate). For each task, give a one-sentence rationale for why it belongs in that quadrant. Then produce a prioritized action plan: what to work on today (Q1), what to schedule this week (Q2), and what to delegate or drop. Keep your recommendations direct and specific. Role: [MY ROLE e.g. Founder / Engineering Manager / Marketing Lead] Task list: [PASTE YOUR FULL TASK LIST]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
