    THE EISENHOWER MATRIX

    THE EISENHOWER DECISION MATRIX

    The Eisenhower Matrix is a great tool to use with clients to help them decide on and
    prioritize tasks by importance and urgency. It helps them consider which of their activities
    are important and which are distractions.

    1. Important and Urgent


    There are two definite types of urgent and important activities: those you couldn’t have
    anticipated, and those that you have left until the last minute. You can eliminate last-minute
    activities by planning ahead and avoiding unnecessary procrastination. If you have lots of
    urgent and important tasks, highlight which ones you could have foreseen, and consider how
    you could schedule similar activities ahead of time, so that they don’t become urgent.

    2. Important, but Not Urgent


    These are the activities that help you to achieve your primary, long-term personal and
    professional goals and complete the tasks you perceive most important in life. Make sure you
    allow time to complete these activities thoroughly so that they don’t become urgent. Allow
    enough time in your schedule to deal with unforeseen problems and last minute crises: this
    will maximise your likelihood of staying on track, and help avoid the stress of your to-do list
    becoming more urgent than necessary.

    3. Not Important, but Urgent


    Urgent but not important activities are the thorn in your side which prevent you from fulfilling
    your primary life goals and vision. Consider whether you can reschedule the urgent activities
    or pass them onto someone else?

    Urgent activities usually come about when dealing with other people - sometimes it’s a good
    thing to have the word ‘no’ in your vocabulary! Alternatively, try to have specified time slots
    available for others, so that they understand they can have your time when it’s appropriate for
    you.

    4. Not Important and Not Urgent


    These activities are just a distraction and must be avoided whenever possible! You can ignore
    or cancel a lot of them. However, some of these may be activities that other people
    want you to do, even though they don’t contribute to your own goals and desired life out-
    comes. Again, say “no” politely where possible, and explain why you can’t do it. If people see
    that you are clear about your objectives and your own personal boundaries, they will avoid
    asking you to do ‘unimportant’ activities in the future.

    THE ECOLOGICAL GOAL SETTING MODEL

    If the goals that people set are fundamentally selfish, they’re not going to find any real degree
    of fulfilment from them even if they do go on to accomplish them. The following framework is
    something you can use as a life coach to challenge people’s motives to help them set goals
    that will actually bring them a greater degree of fulfilment in life.

    Good-Good Good-Not Good

    Good-Good is the perspective where Good-Not Good is the perspective and


    a person sets goals that are good for approach to goal setting where an individual
    themselves which are fundamentally good sets goals that are good for themselves,
    for someone else too. These are healthy but not good for anyone else. Many people
    and balanced goals. Good-Good requires take this approach to goal setting - it’s
    that they look beyond their own perspective competitive, selfish and considers solely
    and consider how others stand to benefit what ‘I’ stand to gain, with little or no regard
    from the goals that they set. Good-Good as to how this affects anyone else. Those
    acknowledges that there’s power in who chose this approach to goal setting
    partnership and encourages people to work often fail to recognise how their actions and
    together in a way where all parties stand to behaviours might be affecting other
    benefit. The wise person commits to goal people. The wise person asks themselves
    setting that benefits everyone. They use the question, “is this goal good for me and
    discernment, wisdom and foresight to make other people?”
    wise choices.

    Wise Choices

    Not Good-Good Not Good-Not Good

    Not Good-Good is the perspective where Not Good-Not Good is the perspective
    a person sets goals that are good for where an individual sets goals that
    others but not good for themselves. Such demonstrate a complete lack of respect
    individuals commit to serving others often and regard for themselves or anyone
    at a huge cost to themselves. Being selfless else. People who choose this perspective
    can be a good thing but if it’s detrimental to often give no consideration as to how their
    the progress that an individual is making, it’s actions and behaviours might be affecting
    not wise. It’s good to give, but at times it’s others. They make reckless decisions
    also important to count the cost. The wise which means they don’t get ahead and the
    person commits to a balanced goal setting others in their life also don’t get ahead. This
    approach where they consider the needs of approach serves no one. Others will find it
    others, but also their own. difficult to take people who chose to live
    like this seriously.
