Thanks for sharing your views Jessica. I will check it out.

I appreciate that you mentioned prioritizing to be a discipline and that due to our constant changing lives, we need to reevaluate almost daily. Many people don’t realize this and continue striving to complete now miscellaneous tasks rather than refocusing on those that ultimately aid them in completing their long-term goals.

In my article I also mentioned how living in a fast-paced environment only fuels a reaction of “present shock” – a condition in which we lose our sense of the long-term narrative and direction, because of living in a continuous, always-on, ‘now’ moment. Research shows that we live in a pattern, dubbed the “Mere-Urgency Effect”, where we tend to prioritize tasks with deadlines over tasks without one regardless of the impact they can make in the long run. It is, therefore, pertinent to be able to distinguish the urgent tasks and activities from those that are important.

Feel free to check out my article on how to increase efficiency via task prioritization using the Eisenhower Matrix for more information including the advantages and disadvantages of using the framework.

Best,
Jessica

I am so happy to know that it helped your team in putting Eisenhower Matrix to use. Wish you success.
