What is the Eisenhower Matrix?

Your Multi-Client Management System

This proven framework helps you balance competing client demands, protect billable time, and invest in business growth - all without sacrificing your sanity.

Q1: DO NOW

Urgent & Important

Client deliverables - handle immediately

Example: Project deadline today, client presentation, crisis response

Q2: SCHEDULE

Not Urgent & Important

Strategic work - your growth zone

Example: Thought leadership, methodology development, key relationships

Q3: DELEGATE

Routine tasks - leverage others

Example: Scheduling, expense reports, data gathering

Q4: REVIEW

Time wasters - eliminate these

Example: Perfectionism, low-value meetings, admin overhead
