Eisenhower Decision Matrix

Best for day-to-day decisions.

Prioritize tasks by urgency and importance and decide which tasks should be delegated or not done at all.

”What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important.”

—Dwight Eisenhower

A Poem I Enjoyed

"The Unyielding" by William Ernest Henley

In spite of the odds, we stand,

Against the tide of life's demand,

Unyielding, we forge our own path,

Defying the storm's relentless wrath.

Have a wonderful Wednesday, all.

Until next time,

Alex
