The method
Use this prompt by pasting it into your LLM of choice. For best results, provide a detailed list of tasks and deadlines. The LLM will then generate a prioritization matrix, categorizing tasks by urgency and importance to optimize focus.
The prompts
Prompt 1
I need to prioritize the following tasks to ensure I meet all deadlines effectively. Please create a prioritization matrix categorizing each task based on its urgency (high, medium, low) and importance (high, medium, low). Tasks: [List your tasks here with deadlines]. Provide a table output with columns for Task, Urgency, Importance, and Recommended Action (e.g., Do Immediately, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate). Ensure the recommended actions are actionable and directly linked to the urgency and importance levels. For example, a 'High Urgency' and 'High Importance' task would suggest 'Do Immediately'. Provide specific steps to take for each of the tasks. Remember that all the context is about time management, so give the most suitable advice
Prompt 2
Develop a comprehensive Eisenhower Matrix, also known as an Urgent-Important Matrix, to help me strategically manage my workload. Analyze the following tasks and categorize them into one of four quadrants: Urgent and Important (Do First), Important but Not Urgent (Schedule), Urgent but Not Important (Delegate), and Neither Urgent Nor Important (Eliminate). Task List: [Insert your tasks here with associated deadlines and brief descriptions of each task's impact on overall goals]. Output the matrix in a clear table format, and for each quadrant, provide specific actionable steps or recommendations based on the categorization. This will enable me to immediately understand the best course of action for each task, optimizing my time and resources effectively. Focus on tasks that are linked to business productivity.
