Formula or structure

Important + urgent → do; important + not urgent → schedule; not important + urgent → delegate; neither → reconsider

Worked example

A production outage goes in Do; long-term skills practice goes in Schedule; a routine request may go in Delegate.

How to use it

  1. Read the field descriptions and use one consistent set of units.
  2. Enter your own figures or select Load example to inspect a worked scenario.
  3. Review the result alongside the assumptions below.
  4. Copy or download the output, then assign the next action in your planning workflow.

Assumptions and interpretation

Delegation still needs an agreed owner. Importance depends on your goals; the matrix does not score tasks automatically.
