The Eisenhower Matrix which we called Priority matrix in Amal Academy Helps in Establishing a To-Do list according to our priority the things that are urgent for us to do, things that are important for us to perform, the things in our daily routine that are not important and not urgent and things which are important but not urgent. So, it gives us clear view about the things we must do earlier in life and things which are important, but we could do them later in life and things in life which are useless in our life and we are just wasting our time on doing those things.As Dwight D.Eisenhower said that

“I have two kinds of problem, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent”.

The Priority Matrix 1st day

The To-Do list hat I made earlier that was not according to my priority and needs. When I act on that to-do list many of tasks remain uncompleted or even untouched which are important for my life. And if I remain following that that to-do that will not help me executing my tasks in a well manner.

Previously when I was following my old To-Do task list and the tasks that are in my task list are complete the Assignments of university, complete Amal getting closer to mega project course, going out for lunch with friends and watch show on YouTube. And the next day I thought that I will complete Assignments and Project in the night and I will easily complete that in night in 2–3 hours So, firstly I went out with my friends for Lunch in the afternoon and I spent there almost all the time till evening then when I came back to hostel that I start to watch show on YouTube as I thought I will complete the assignments and project in night, After watching the YouTube when I start to work on assignments and Project Work then it took me so long that even at 12pm half of my work remains so I left the work in between and go to sleep then the next day and When I followed the revised To-Do task list of one day I did everything on time and according to my priorities ,things which have more importance in my life on the acting on the revised plan in the start of my day I took university classes first which has high priority and are important after that when I got free from university classes then I start doing Amal Academy Project work because that is the important thing to build my carrier, to achieve something great in life and to learn that how I could get success in life. And after that get little break from all that work by watching a movie and then I go to sleep that was a great day. At the end of the day I was happy that I complete all my tasks and at the end of the day I sleep well with happiness. So, it helped me very much.

Revised Daily To-Do List After Utilizing Priority Matrix

While I was executing the revised To-Do task list, I feel a bit uncomfortable and it was new for me because this was the first time, I was doing work first as always I do other activities first because I didn’t know how to prioritize my schedule and didn’t know which things are more important for me. So, I feel bit different following the revised task list but at the end of the day it was very fruitful for me. As I complete all the tasks important for me first then I do something less important.So, it helped me very much best technique to be more productive and punctual in life.
