people of any age often complain about the lack of time and the excess duties.Often - almost daily - we are faced with a choice between pleasure and urgent tasks.We did not have enough time for family and friends, and the chief wants us all a greater commitment and availability.Sometimes we dream that the day lasted 48 hours because they do not have time to do everything we wanted.However, often it is a false impression that results from inefficient planning of our time - days, weeks, months.There are many ways to learn how to manage it.One technique is the matrix Eisenhower.
"inventor" of the method is well-known American president.It was he - Dwight Eisenhower - was famous not only for his wisdom, but also the ability to manage your time very well.With this method it is time to do much of what planned.Matrix priorities Eisenhower also called a field, the system squares named after him.What is the technique?
It is a structure that resembles a coordinate system.Eisenhower matrix is clearly the validity and relevance of the action.This is one of the most popular ways to schedule a time.It does not matter what form will our scheme, whether it is a system of coordinates, a table or a simple distribution points or points.We are often faced with the dilemma of how our objectives can be considered essential, or can they be ignored now.Should we perform something urgently or business can be transferred to "tomorrow" or "to ever".Eisenhower Matrix distributes the urgency and importance of the axes.The sheet is divided into four quadrants.It is possible for clarity paint them in different colors, or write different markers.The vertical axis shows the urgency of horizontal - importance.Of course, these categories are influenced by a number of factors.Note personal priorities and values, emotional and financial significance of the case, the opinions of others, postponement, and more.Eisenhower Matrix - a great tool for self-analysis.It can be used for any time interval.
First of all, we need to focus on important and urgent matters.By the way, the analysis of this system of coordinates or table for different periods may help us understand how and why such problems arise.Quite often (but Eisenhower matrix enables us to see it clearly) urgent matter - not that other, as the accumulation of less urgent tasks.Rush jobs and all kinds of emergencies make us spend a lot of time and effort to implement what could be carried out gradually and quietly.After we do all the urgent and meaningful work, you can do less urgent but important things.Timely their implementation will save us in the future from the hectic activity and debris.
Eisenhower Matrix, especially with the timing (it is desirable to keep it in mind and regularly amended and notes), and will help you understand what can be neglected.For example, watching television, or computer games, chatter on the phone or sitting in endless chat rooms and social networks - a "time killer".Of course, the rest is also needed, but if we can use the time to the full, we can safely spend an hour and a half on the fun and entertainment.This is especially important for freelancers, who are responsible for the distribution of his time.
