It helps identify what\u2019s truly important, so you spend more time on what matters most.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You might have also heard it called a time matrix, the Covey time management matrix, or the 7 Habits time management matrix. Its foundation rests on 2 words: <em>important<\/em> and <em>urgent. <\/em>Important means significant or valuable, while something urgent requires immediate attention or action. It\u2019s crucial to remember that not all urgent tasks are important and vice versa. The time management matrix helps you rank an item\u2019s importance and urgency simultaneously and places it in the correct quadrant (more on that in a moment). Urgency is pretty simple to figure out. You\u2019ll often know if something needs completion today, a week from now, or if it doesn\u2019t technically have a due date or sense of urgency. Determining task importance is a bit trickier.<\/p>\n<h3>Who should use a time management matrix?<\/h3>\n<p>It may sound cliche, but just about anyone can benefit from using a time management matrix to help complete their daily tasks. Anyone who juggles a large task load would likely benefit most from a time management matrix because it helps you collect information and turn it into an actionable workload.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is time management so important?<\/h3>\n<p>The average office worker is only productive about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vouchercloud.com\/resources\/office-worker-productivity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2 hours and 53 minutes<\/a>\u00a0each day. Between using the restroom, checking social media, chatting with co-workers, and the constant barrage of interruptions, there\u2019s not a lot of pure focus time. Time management helps prioritize tasks, so you\u2019re focusing your finite time and resources on the right tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Highly effective people \u2014 former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Stephen Covey, author of &#8220;7 Habits of Highly Effective People&#8221;, for example \u2014 have the common habits of harnessing their time management skills to focus more intently when studying or working. They start and end on time and ensure they don\u2019t feel rushed by a fast-approaching deadline or random urgent tasks they didn\u2019t foresee.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-60566 size-full\" title=\"Time management matrix table\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Time-management-matrix-table.png\" alt=\"A time management matrix has many forms but the structure is largely the same with each quadrant's purpose remaining consistent.\" width=\"570\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Time-management-matrix-table.png 570w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Time-management-matrix-table-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/what-stephen-covey-taught_b_12458334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Image Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Time management reduces stress, helps produce better work, and in all likelihood, will improve your career opportunities since you\u2019re using your work time more productively than your peers.<\/p>\n<h2>How to create a time management matrix<\/h2>\n<p>Creating a time management matrix starts with a simple structure: 4 boxes with 4 words around the left and top side of the boxes:\u00a0<em>Not important, important, urgent,\u00a0<\/em>and<em>\u00a0not urgent<\/em>.

All you have to do is type your tasks in and flag them by their importance, urgency, or lack thereof. The system will automatically place them accordingly. Let\u2019s look at how to categorize tasks and how you should tackle tasks in each category.<\/p>\n<h3>Urgent, important<\/h3>\n<p>These tasks should be rare, and as the title implies, they\u2019re things you do immediately. People often refer to these as quadrant I tasks. If you don\u2019t perform these urgent, important tasks, there will likely be immediate consequences. You\u2019ll miss an opportunity, occur some sort of loss, or suffer poor performance.<\/p>\n<p>Important, urgent things are often thought of as \u201cfire fighting.\u201d If your company was hacked and you have the opportunity to thwart the criminal before they do too much damage or steal sensitive data, then that definitely qualifies. If a customer calls and says that they\u2019re ready to purchase the biggest deal your company has seen all year, then that\u2019s one of those \u201cdrop everything you\u2019re doing\u201d urgent and important moments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div id=\"subscribe-cta-banner\">\n    <div class=\"subscribe-cta-banner-wrapper\">\n        <h3>Don\u2019t miss more quality content!<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"form-wrapper\">\n            <div id=\"subscribe-cta-banner-form-1\"><\/div>\n            <!--[if lte IE 8]>\n            <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2-legacy.js\"><\/script>\n            <![endif]-->\n            <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n            <script>\n            hbspt.forms.create({\n                portalId: \"5945317\",\n                css: \"\",\n                formId: \"dbfb5b7f-21a2-4092-a3fb-0b6365ad349c\",\n                target: '#subscribe-cta-banner-form-1',\n                formInstanceId: 'hs-from-instance-1',\n            });\n            <\/script>\n            \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/p>\n<h3>Important, not urgent<\/h3>\n<p>Quadrant II tasks are important, but not urgent. If urgent, important is rare, then you likely have a backlog of important, not urgent items on your task list.<\/p>\n<a class=\"twitter-box\" arial-label=\"Tweet\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'targetWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width=800,height=450'); return false;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=\">To tackle urgent, not important items, you\u2019ll want to schedule large blocks of uninterrupted time to work on them if you can. The longer, the better, so you can get into a flow state and truly focus.<span><\/span><\/a>\n<p>Important tasks contribute greatly to your life or company\u2019s mission and strategic goals. It\u2019s the stuff you\u2019re remembered by and makes the greatest impact on the world. This includes things like improving work processes, completing additional training, and capturing <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" title=\"lessons learned\" href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/project-management\/lessons-learned-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">lessons learned<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Urgent, not important<\/h3>\n<p>Quadrant III tasks are things you\u2019ll ideally delegate to someone else or automate if you can. Sometimes the best thing to do is manage them or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/productivity\/how-to-improve-productivity-with-time-batching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chunk them together<\/a>, so they don\u2019t disrupt the important tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, you want to spend as little time as possible on urgent, not important, tasks. They\u2019re counterproductive tasks that likely don\u2019t contribute much to your greater goal, are low on the priority list, and add fog to your daily life that\u2019s hard to see through.<\/p>\n<h3>Not urgent, not important<\/h3>\n<p>Quadrant IV is not urgent, not important, which means it\u2019s likely not worth doing at all. Think of quadrant IV as a black hole. As you spend more and more time there, you just get sucked further in until you\u2019ve lost all momentum and energy to work on important things.<\/p>\n<p>The kind of activity that lacks importance or urgency includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sorting through junk mail<\/li>\n<li>Mindlessly browsing social media<\/li>\n<li>Flipping through television shows<\/li>\n<li>Attending meetings that aren\u2019t relevant to you or your long-term goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to automate your time management matrix with monday.com<\/h2>\n<p>monday.com takes time management matrices to the next level with a beautiful board that adds even more functionality and productivity.
