The Eisenhower Matrix categorizes tasks into four distinct quadrants based on urgency and importance:

• Quadrant 1: Urgent and Important — Tasks that require immediate action. These tasks often align with deadlines and crises.
• Quadrant 2: Not Urgent but Important — Tasks that contribute to long-term goals and personal growth. They don’t need immediate attention but are crucial for success.
• Quadrant 3: Urgent but Not Important — Tasks that demand immediate action but don’t contribute significantly to your goals. These often include interruptions and minor requests.
• Quadrant 4: Not Urgent and Not Important — Tasks that neither contribute to your goals nor require immediate action. These are typically time-wasting activities.
