If you could add a view in Todoist to show the matrix, and the tasks within each quadrant, it would be amazing! This would be the icing on the cake for the methods you have shown.
Breaking down tasks into urgent and important really woke me up to how I've been managing my time. The way you laid out the importance of focusing on long-term goals over immediate tasks was enlightening. I didn't realize how much time I was spending on Quadrant 4 activities. Identifying these as time wasters is the first step toward better time management. I'm motivated to cut down on these non-essential tasks!
Such a great recap of an important technique that I'm familiar with and yet seem to forget/ignore a lot. I use Todoist every day all day and I get satisfaction from checking things off but I need to do a better job with prioritizing and setting realistic completion dates. This will help. Thanks so much!
I used to teach the Eisenhower Matrix as part of corporate training and have been using it for years in ToDoist. I do use the priority filters, but I also simulate the matrix by using the board view with four sections for each project (Important & Urgent, Important NOT Urgent, etc.). 👍
This might be the start of turning my life around! I cannot, for the life of me, write in my planner every day on delegating daily tasks. I just found out my brain works similarly to the Eisenhower Matrix. Thanks Naomi!
A very nice and concise explanation of this system. I like the Quadrant 2 part because it reminds you to schedule routine things. The quadrant 3 reminds you of things to delegate to others, such as yard work, housecleaning, or other things you don't like to do. Finally, I realize that quadrant 4 is for time wasters that I need to schedule, such as check email every night, only watch RUclips on Saturday while doing laundry, etc. I guess this is why President Eisenhower could plan D-day and our US highway system. His plan could fit on a letter sized sheet of paper, folded to fit in a man's shirt pocket. Just a thought. Thanks for this video, and keep up the good work.
Thank you for this video! My coach has directed me to Eisenhower Matrix. The sad thing is I thought I understood it. After really paying attention to this video, I see why she saw my mentions of Eisenhower matrix as confused. I thought that I have been using my priorities to reflect the importance according to this method, but it seems like I quickly changed it to a whim instead of a method. Now I'll have to go through every project and subsection and ask myself some hard but simple questions to truly answer myself if those things are important at all or imposed from the outside world.
It's good to see a face on article I read since a couple of years now. I've already read the article you mention but watching this video was a fresh reminder. In fact, to be sure you follow this principle, I think you have to ask you a couple of times a day, at minimum twice in the morning and in the evening, if you really follow the rule of the matrix. And this remind you how much things are in the quadran 3. For so much time I was wondering why it could be urgent and non-important until I hear that it could be "urgent" for other and not for me. This completely change my way of seing this quadran and now I understand why the quadran is named "Delegate it". Thanks for this video :)
Appreciate your thorough description of this matrix, I know I need to prioritize things yet I figure I need to get a more systematic means to do the arrangement for my life
Thanks for all the advices to improve on our time management system. I’ve heard about Eisenhower Matrix but not this deep. Excuse if my english its no so good, im a little bit rusty on it
Great video! I watched 10 videos on prioritizing and really felt this was the most business applicable. I shared it with my finance team and our payroll manager would really love to know who performed your background music. Thank you for the helpful video and please let me know when the music details
It's unlikely we'll add a dedicated feature soon, but the methods here work really well for a lot of people, with the most popular being labels: todoist.com/productivity-methods/eisenhower-matrix#how-to-implement-the-eisenhower-matrix-in-todoist
Love this video - great framework for prioritizing work. Thank you! Also love your video background - would you mind sharing what camera / lighting setup you have?
Great video - and I've noticed a big improvement in production quality v.s. the time blocking video a month ago (not that that was bad!) What changes have you made to your setup?! Nice one!
I split my todoist into more traditional todo lists such as personal tasks and then run projects out of it also such as build software x. I started to implement this and hit a barrier, is there an arguement that all tasks in a project are urgent/important as they need to be done in order to complete the project and now I am thinking of reverting.

Yes please! As a visual/spatial thinker, this would be so useful!

Amazing video. Thank you for putting such efforts in it.
Thank you! this is the best explanation so far about the Matrix in a real corporate context!
Super clear, love the video especially the bloopers and showing the real side with being 'guilty of quadrant 4' :)

Excellent, Excellent work. Ike would be proud. This helped our office clarify how we implement. Cheers.
Amazing explanation and visual presentation. Good for beginners and ones who need an understanding before they start using it
very well explained... great

Naomi taught me about the "Eisenpower matrix" today. 🤗 And, it was really powerful. Thank you for your explanation.
Great explanation, thank you for the helpful content!
Perfect explanation! Thank you!
Yes!!! Very helpful. Yes Eisen- power.
'I'z in power!' Love it! True!
Appreciate your thorough description of this matrix, I know I need to prioritize things yet I figure I need to get a more systematic means to do the arrangement for my life
Wow - great video - definately eisen-Power-ful !
Thank you. Helpful.
This is a very useful tool - Thanks for the video!!! 👍🙏
Thank you, will pass along the technique to my son.
Thanks! Lots to think about.
Thanks for all the advices to improve on our time management system. I’ve heard about Eisenhower Matrix but not this deep. Excuse if my english its no so good, im a little bit rusty on it

I feel it is urgent and important to learn the difference between urgent and important.
Any plans to implement the EM within Todoist ?

Thx! I'll check that out.@@todoist
Would love to see this incorporated into Todoist as a dedicated view.@@todoist
@@todoist I want to make clear this is the feature I want most out of Todoist. More than anything else this would majorly improve my productivity.
@@todoistİ think too it would be great to have
Thanks ❤🎉❤
Super video!
Hi. Where do daily maintentance tasks exist? There are small chores I need to do every day. What box would you put those in?
Quadrant 2
Love this video - great framework for prioritizing work. Thank you! Also love your video background - would you mind sharing what camera / lighting setup you have?
Super video - just what I needed right now. It will help me reorganize my ToDoist.

Are you from beautiful Scotland?
She has a Northern Irish accent.
Eisenpower matrix is da best! :)
I appreciate if you add these features to free version : 1. Reminders 2. No limits on projects
i think 7 habits is by stephen covey...
Absolutely no one actually uses eisenhower matrices 😅
I use them often, both at home and at work. I also use kanban boards for both.
