The fact that time is always short was noted by former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who recommended in the 1950s that we should distinguish sharply between urgent and important tasks. Urgent and important tasks should be done immediately by yourself. You should consistently delegate urgent but less important tasks. For important but non-urgent tasks, you should set a deadline and complete them yourself in a timely manner. If possible, complete important tasks before they become urgent. You should ignore unimportant and non-urgent tasks. Do not accept unimportant and non-urgent tasks without thinking, even from your superiors. This requires discipline and courage, but gives you the time for leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to do everything yourself. Delegate tasks<\/a> to your employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":5725,"menu_order":18800,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"jask_topic_categories":[846],"class_list":["post-5727","jask_topic","type-jask_topic","status-publish","hentry","jask_topic_categories-eisenhower-prinzip-en"],"yoast_head":"\nThe Eisenhower principle: urgent and important tasks- consultingcheck<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In time management, the Eisenhower principle puts the focus on urgent, important tasks that are completed immediately.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.consultingcheck.com\/en\/topics\/eisenhower-principle\/5727\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Eisenhower principle: urgent and important tasks\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Complete important tasks yourself immediately\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.consultingcheck.com\/en\/topics\/eisenhower-principle\/5727\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"consultingcheck\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-06-08T11:44:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.consultingcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/og_en_1200x630.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"The Eisenhower principle: urgent and important tasks\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Complete important tasks yourself immediately\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.consultingcheck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/og_en_1200x630.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/eisenhower-principle\\\/5727\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/eisenhower-principle\\\/5727\\\/\",\"name\":\"The Eisenhower principle: urgent and important tasks- consultingcheck\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-06-20T16:10:02+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-06-08T11:44:15+00:00\",\"description\":\"In time management, the Eisenhower principle puts the focus on urgent, important tasks that are completed immediately.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/eisenhower-principle\\\/5727\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/eisenhower-principle\\\/5727\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/eisenhower-principle\\\/5727\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Startseite\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Themen\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topic\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Organization and Personnel\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/organization-and-personnel\\\/5712\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"name\":\"Leadership: Successful corporate management\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/leadership\\\/5716\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":5,\"name\":\"Inner guidance: Guide yourself\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/internal-leadership\\\/5721\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":6,\"name\":\"Time management: manage limited time well\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/topics\\\/time-management\\\/5725\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":7,\"name\":\"The Eisenhower principle: Urgent and important tasks\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.consultingcheck.com\\\/en\\\/\",\"name\":\"consultingcheck\",\"description\":\"Vernetzt gedacht.
