It takes being productive to get things done correctly and on time. So how do you know which tasks are essential and which can wait? The answer is in the Eisenhower Matrix.
The matrix took its name after Dwight David Eisenhower. Eisenhower was a general in the US army and the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961. As a five-star general and a Supreme Commander in the US Army, he drafted the strategy for an Allied invasion of Europe.
Eisenhower had to make tough decisions every time about which tasks to prioritize out of many he needed to focus on daily. So, he came up with the famous Eisenhower Matrix, or the Prioritization Matrix.

What is the Eisenhower Matrix?

The Eisenhower Matrix is a technique of rating your tasks based on urgency. It helps you know the critical activities and those tasks that you should bypass. Eisenhower famously said of the Matrix:

“Most tasks that are urgent are not important, and most tasks that are important are not urgent.”

This quote became the maxim for Eisenhower in managing his time. Now let’s get down to the details of the Matrix. There are four quadrants, which include the tasks you need to do at every point in time.

The quadrants are:

• Do
• Decide
• Delegate
• Eliminate

Do

Do is the first quadrant in the Prioritization Matrix, and it incorporates important activities. That is, those tasks you need to carry out urgently — crises, deadlines, and issues that need your urgent attention and are highly relevant to your life mission. So how do you know which task falls into this quadrant?

It’s simple!
Start by analyzing your priorities, and then establish if it falls within the ‘do it now’ criteria. If the task is achievable within a day, or within 24 to 48 hours, it’s urgent. Another approach you can adopt in prioritizing tasks in this category is to adopt the “eat the frog” principle by Mark Twain. This principle recommends that you do the most urgent activities as soon as you wake up.
Here’s a practical example.

Let’s say you need to draft a content strategy and submit a report to your manager. It’s Saturday, and the deadline for submission is Monday. Can we say the activity is urgent? Definitely!

Decide

The second quadrant of the prioritization matrix is Decide. The Eisenhower Matrix classifies tasks in this category as important but not that urgent. They are long-term objectives and tasks with no immediate deadline. Those tasks could include meditation, journaling, studying, family time, and exercising.

You can plan out activities in this quadrant for some other period. For instance, you should exercise for good health, but you can allocate time to do it.

Schedule these activities in such a way that they don’t transfer to the “Do” or “Urgent” quadrant. Ensure you have sufficient time and dedicate that time to carry them out.

Delegate

The third quadrant of the prioritization matrix is Delegate. These tasks are not important to you but quite urgent for others. This is where teamwork comes into play.

You can technically perform tasks in this category, but it makes sense to delegate them. Delegating tasks will ensure you have more time to pursue activities in your first two quadrants.

You should also monitor the tasks you have delegated. You can use email, Skype, or telephone to get feedback. It will only amount to a sheer waste of time if you don’t have a tracking system for delegated tasks.

Delete

The last quadrant highlights your productivity killers. They are tasks that are not important to your goals. The only way to boost your productivity is to delete them.
Some examples are constantly checking your phone, watching movies, or playing video games.
They could also be bad habits that you need to identify and delete from your daily and weekly schedule.
Successful people have learned how to prioritize and stick to what’s important. They have learned to find a better person for a task or eliminate less significant tasks.
Let’s consider two inspiring personalities that have designed their prioritization system.
Warren Buffet developed a two-list prioritization model to determine which task deserves his best attention. The bottom line is bypassing things that are important and useful but not top of the priorities. Mark Ford, a business advisor, marketer, self-made millionaire, and author devised his strategy:
“Start work on the most crucial priority, take a break, work on the second most important task, take a break, then sort out the less important activities and any tasks he received from other individuals by afternoon.” [2]
Mark’s strategy may sound reasonable and easy, but some individuals have also devised their prioritization strategy, just like Mark and Warren.
The lesson is simple!
Prioritize, focus, repeat.

How to Use The Prioritization Matrix When Every Task Is #1

Using the Prioritization Matrix can be tricky if you’re new at it, but by following a few simple steps, you can learn to utilize it in the best way possible.

1. List and Rank Your Priorities

Highlight all the tasks you need to carry out in a day. Don’t mind the order or number.
Then, classify them based on urgency and importance.
Identify any activity that requires prompt action. I’m referring to a task that if you don’t complete that day, it could produce a grave consequence. For instance, if you don’t submit your content strategy, other content writers cannot work. It means you need to check for high-priority dependencies.

2. Define the Value

The next step is to examine the importance and assess which of them impacts your business or organization the most. As a rule of thumb, you can check which tasks possess higher priority over others. For instance, you need to attend to client’s requirements before you take care of any internal work.

You can also estimate value by examining how the task impacts the people and customers in the organization. In a nutshell, the more impact a task has on people or the organization, the higher the priority.

3. Take out the Most Challenging Task

Procrastination is not a symptom of laziness, but avoidance is. The truth is that you will typically avoid tasks you don’t want to do. The former CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, once said he would take out the most dreaded task first thing when he got to the office.

It’s simple!
Take out any task that you dread first! Brian Tracy called these tasks the frogs you need to eat. That will remove the nagging dread, which mounts pressure on you when you postpone necessary tasks.

4. Know What’s Important to You

As long as you are in this cosmos, you will always encounter different choices that may be contradictory to your goals. For instance, a fantastic promotion that requires excessive travel will isolate you from important relationships. If you are not priority-conscious, you may accept it, even though your family is your priority.

Therefore, it makes sense to identify what is important to you and to prepare yourself not to compromise those important things for immediate pleasure or gain.

Yogi Berra captioned it this way:
“If you do not know your destination, you might end up somewhere else.”

5. Establish Regular “No Work” Time

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki established a rule not to check her emails between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. According to a CNN Business report, she was the first woman to request maternity leave when Google just got started. She prioritizes dinner time with her family despite being the CEO of YouTube
Is it possible to cut out time for our relationships and interests outside of work? Of course!
That’s why you need to set out your “no work” time. This approach will enable you to renew your energy levels for the next task. Also, you will be in the best position to introspect as you are not in your usual work zone.

6. Know When to Stop

You can achieve everything on your list sometimes. After you have prioritized your workload and assessed your estimates, remove the remaining tasks from your priority list and focus on your most urgent and important tasks.

As a young entrepreneur I used to fly down to Dubai for a weekend for no other reason but to soak up the “buzz”, feel the excitement and marvel at a landscape painted by pure vision.

There are few cities in the world who have created the momentum where reality keeps pace with unbridled vision and fewer still who have sustained that drive to constantly evolve. It never fails to amaze me to look out at the skyline and realize that vision is in constant motion and so when I got a chance to launch a business here in Dubai three years ago, I jumped in with both feet…

I am one of the lucky ones, the landscape of towers never became a concrete jungle, to this day, it is a constantly evolving, dancing, sparkling, kaleidoscope of flickering dreams. A “Living Vision Board” that never stops moving.

It is a landscape that host the dreams and ambitions of people from across the world. Whether you own the tower, or you are a humble worker digging the foundation, the taste of “better days ahead” fills your waking hours. It is against that context I ask the question every business owner is asking right now.

Where do we go from here?

Covid 19 hit hard, it was a tsunami that overwhelmed the world. Its ripple effects will rumble for years to come but long past the pages of “restrictions, penalties, repatriations, redundancies”, society will find a way to push forward.

Ambition, Motivation, Inspiration, all have their own contribution to make and we will craft our response, respectful of the challenge we face but determined nonetheless to march on. That march forward will start with some unsteady steps. One cannot help but sense the unease when you come to appreciate the impact Covid 19 has had on the economy and for sure some dark days ahead for so many companies and individuals but here’s the thing about doing business in the UAE.

Unless you live here, work here, you can never fully grasp the enormity of the vision that underpins the UAE. It is an intangible asset on the balance sheet of every single UAE company, from the SME to the Conglomerate, all are “infected” by the unrelenting determination to be at the forefront of innovation and success. You can measure the GDP, study all the economic indicators and factor in the shock wave of impacts that Covid 19 will bring but what you cannot measure and what many in the media fail to grasp is the regions unbridled determination and capacity to achieve the impossible. There will be real and for many, life changing business impacts. We cannot escape that reality, but we have something unique underpinning business in the UAE, our own “Magic Dust” created from decades of confidence building demonstrating over and over again that Vision overcomes all.

Actually, it is not OUR “Magic Dust” , we are the beneficiaries. We do our part for sure but in truth, we will bask in the vision and leadership of innovative pioneers who for decades now simply refused to accept any outcome but success at levels few can comprehend.

I launched a Safe Deposit Box business here in Dubai in 2018 (MySafe) and let me be sincere, it’s been tough, there is nothing easy about success, not here in Dubai, not anywhere but it has been so rewarding to put boots on the ground in a place like Dubai and take the first steps on a journey to full potential.

MySafe launched in 2018 and we operate the only private fully automated safe deposit box center in the UAE. In 2019 we launched our second site located in the retail lobby of the Kempinski Hotel and Residences, Palm Jumeriah, it is the first hotel in the world with a fully automated Lloyd’s insured Safe Deposit Box center in the Lobby. When Covid 19 first hit, we were at an advanced stage in our plans to launch our third center here in Dubai. Like everyone else I have concerns about the economic impact and the future, but I also know this. There is nowhere else on Earth with the capacity to wipe the vision board clean and in a heartbeat create a new vision that will empower all who dare to dream. The way forward is clear, we focus and “Plan Brave”.

In the UAE, innovation starts at the very top and after decades of delivering on that vision, leadership has empowered the business community. In so doing, creating the levels of confidence necessary such that even the most humble business in the UAE believe that here, the impossible is possible.

To all those who have fallen, to those who have stumbled and fear the future and to those who feel confident enough to fight on, let us “Plan Brave”.

We all lift by raising others and now is the time. Let us not wait to be lifted, let’s see if we can lift a little ourselves and if so, let us reach out to our neighbor and see if we can lift together. Let’s be informed by the lessons learnt and respectful of the need to be a little more humble and lift each other every step of the way.

The start of being a mindful leader is self-awareness which is the ability to be aware of your own emotions, moods and feelings and the way they are impacting you. Self-awareness leads to self-confidence and self-confidence leads to success. A quote from the book Competent Manager says “Among supervisors, managers and executives a high degree of self-confidence distinguishes the best from average performers.” The self-confidence I am referring to is not arrogance or cockiness, it’s much more about feeling that whatever situation I go into, I’ll be okay. And the only way you can know that you’ll be okay, is if you know yourself well enough to be able to predict what that will be like. The first component of self-confidence is self-assessment – what are my preferences, my likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. It’s important so that going into situations that are going to be challenging, you know to prepare. The second component is emotional awareness. If emotions affect us so dramatically, then we have to know what’s going on inside us and to be aware of our internal state and intuitions.

At the core of self-awareness for leaders is that they understand the impact their behavior has on others. Another two critical points in mindful leadership is to what extent do others perceive that you (the leader), is aware of your own strengths and limitations. Also, to what extent do other people notice you asking other people for feedback on how you approach things? How would you do if you had to compare to how they see you and how you perceive yourself? There is a German expression – awareness is curative. Just knowing something is curative. Just having an awareness of your limitations moves you toward protecting yourself against them.

Emotional awareness is very important for mindful leaders. Emotional awareness is demonstrating an awareness of your moods and emotions. Emotions are physiological responses that arise in response to an external stimulus. Mindful leadership is about noticing those emotions as they are arising, so that when somebody says something that upsets you, you’re tuned in to your body and you’re aware of your emotional state changing. In fact bodily sensations are easier to be aware of, so you can use them as a gut check in your emotions. The difference between pictures taken with the Nokia N76 in 2007 and today’s iPhone X is data. The iPhone has many more megapixels giving tiny bits of information from the image taken but they all add up to give a higher resolution as compared to the old Nokia with much less megapixels and data and hence much less sharp images. Similarly with emotions, the more you notice your emotions rising in you, the more pieces of data you have, the greater your emotional resolution – more awareness of your emotions.

Did you know the average person has approximately 15,000 thoughts a day and of these about 7500 are negative thoughts or about 5 negative thoughts per minute. Each of those thoughts evoke an emotional reaction although most of them you do not notice as they go on beneath the surface. But sometimes you might be sitting in a meeting with your colleagues at work and suddenly your mood falls off a cliff. It could be a reaction to one of those emotions that are going on in the background that are triggered by one of the 7500 negative thoughts you have. We respond physiologically to these emotions and that affects our mood.

So how can mindful leaders inspire performance in others? Well you have to understand those others’ purpose and contribution and what work is meaningful to them. And in order to understand what’s meaningful for others, you need to find out what’s meaningful for you. When you figure out how to create a vision that inspires you, what makes your own work meaningful and gives it purpose, it’s only then that you can inspire others. On his deathbed, Steve Jobs said “Knowing you are going to die releases you from the burden of thinking I cannot follow my heart and create a vision of who I truly want to be.” He wished he had followed this philosophy his whole life.

To become a more mindful leader

Reflect on feelings when decision-making. Ask others how they feel about potential solutions to problems. Consider issues from multiple perspectives. Be aware of biases in decision-making (e.g., women aren’t as good as men at dealing with certain issues).

A flood of research is increasingly proving that a company’s people are the differentiating factor. Mindfulness is all about “people smarts” – it’s about relating to yourself and others. In difficult times, the soft stuff often goes away. But being mindful, it turns out, isn’t so soft and lack thereof can jeopardise your ability to perform, or be compassionate in a crisis. It isn’t a luxury you can dispense with in tough times. At the end of the day, mindful leaders have employees who perform better, suffer less burnout and have more satisfied people working for them.

However, for businesses to effectively maximize the upcoming opportunities in 2018, they need to develop a 3-year strategic business plan that outlines the clear sequence of initiatives that they will have to undertake to achieve success. For many businesses in Kenya, the best-laid plans only exist in the mind of the founder or the team leader, and in the event he or she leaves the company the operations normally come to a grinding halt.

There are as many approaches to strategic planning as there are strategy consultants. At Mentoria, we are persuaded by the work of Prof. Michael Porter of Harvard Business School as captured in his seminal essay “What is Strategy?” At the heart of his work, is the idea that for any company to thrive, it must discover its competitive advantage in the market. And such is our approach at Mentoria. We invest many hours in studying various aspects of client businesses- from management to efficiency to competition and innovation. We document our recommendations and provide guidance on implementation. At the end of the process, we believe the client should have a strong understanding of both the strengths and weaknesses of the business as well as the upcoming risks and opportunities in the industry

I remember during my first job at Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, the company would occasionally bring in consultants to assist in a project. I often wondered why a company would ever bring in outsiders to help in a problem which the company would easily resolve using internal resources. This question still lingers in many people’s mind to this day. Truth be told, an outside consultant is immune to the internal politics of the company and can make more objective recommendations that are in the best interest of the client. Secondly, the consultant brings in a fresh pair of eyes to the business challenges and has the additional advantage of being exposed to the market trends by his experience from previous client briefs.

When undertaking an exercise in Strategy, a company need to focus on understanding its competitive advantage in the market. This can only be achieved by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the entire industry. With a broad view of the economy and of the entire industry, it becomes possible for a business to begin to understand its unique value proposition in the market. It very well might be that its competitive advantage lies in pricing or location or efficient supply chain or various other considerations.

Once a business understands its competitive advantage, it must go on and develop the specific habitat in which that competitive advantage thrives. I once came across a clothing store in Nairobi that discovered a real market opportunity in sourcing outfits from the United States. The business invested many hours in identifying trendy outfits in shops across New York City. After securing prime mall space in one of the leading malls, it became clear that the vast majority of clients who were interested in the American outfits were plus size and found the clothes too tight for comfort. In retrospect, a bit more market research could have avoided this unfortunate situation. Business veterans say its better to measure the cloth ten times and to cut once rather than to measure once and cut ten times.

Once the strategy is clear, the next steps involve clearly communicating it to the entire team. This helps to rally everybody around a central goal and generates a sense of excitement because everybody feels they are working towards the same objective. Few companies have fine-tuned the art of cascading strategic objectives down the organizational hierarchy, eventually resulting in a fundamental disconnect between senior management and the rank and file. The cure for this is to create a wide-range of communication channels that will ensure everyone is reading from the same script.

Finally, it is extremely important that the strategic plan is kept alive. This simply means that the strategic plan should be reviewed at least once a year to assess whether the old business assumptions still hold true. What this essentially does is that it provides the business with an opportunity to factor in new developments such as rising competition, new legislation and policies as well as technological developments that may affect the business landscape.

Strategic business planning should be an exciting process that provides an opportunity for everyone in the business to participate in the creation of a successful future for the company.

The current economic climate has made this a critical time to strengthen both your sales and business connections and processes to see results in your business. A systematic approach to networking will be a strong contributor to distinguishing the people that will thrive in this environment from those that will struggle. Our deeper understanding of this is the reason for making the anticipated return of our networking events, now designed to be more effective than ever before!

Our team has been working tirelessly for the better part of 2018 on aligning strategic partnerships and agendas to ensure that you win in every way possible. We are very proud of the Ideal Village Networks which launched back in 2015. The sister event, Karen Little Networks, was built on the back of its success. We are now introducing a new baby, The Westlands Business Network! It has been a long time coming. That’s not all, save the date because this August, the 23rd, we shall be hosting a premier networking event featuring all three. We are inviting companies, business executives and professionals based in Karen, (Karen Little Networks), those based in Gigiri, Runda, Muthaiga and Kitisuru (Ideal Village Networks) to link up with The Westlands Business Network for the very first time. If you aren’t already part, we invite you to do so. Membership is open exclusively for business executives and professionals in Karen, Gigiri and Westlands. Further, if you want to build your network across the board, you do have that option!

Take away the past imagery of the networking events you have attended. This will be far from the crowd milling around a hotel banquet room with chardonnay in one hand and business cards in the other. We are intentional in our need to see our members investing more time in the networks that we are availing and having it pay off. Our guarantee off the bat, is to give you a valuable, well- structured experience with an array of activities, but only if you make the most out of our bouquet of networking opportunities. You are bound to benefit from more than a handshake, some great conversation, resources, networks, and innovative ideas. Could we build up your appetite even more?

The game plan this time around is highlighting the interaction of the role of trust, the place and space where these events occur, and our role as hosts, to increase the effectiveness of your networking. We are doing this by firstly doing away with one-off events. The benefit you stand to gain is that from the myriad of organized introductions we have prepared, you are more than likely to make a far greater number of new contacts, and make far stronger connections with these contacts, than those who received no introduction. What do we mean? From our calendar, you now have an option to select either of our packages ranging from 2 events, 4 events, 6 events or better yet, all the scheduled events.

Entrepreneurs often rely on social ties in building new ventures, to be innovative and perform better. We have strategically planned every aspect of our networking events going forward including the physical settings. All this to facilitate new connections and networks, ensuring your experience is worth your time, money and influence.

The 2016 rendition of the Ideal Village Networks was exciting to say the least. The excellent attendance spoke volumes. This event availed members the opportunity to meet like-minded people, build valuable relationships and share best practices. This networking event catered for diverse industry players who were well represented. Through it all, one message remained crystal clear; there is a different level of intimacy that industry players and entrepreneurs can achieve through networking. There is a real appreciation of the personal touch that networking can give. They do act as a springboard – sparking the type of word-of-mouth marketing and sales that not even the largest marketing budgets can buy, which is if our stellar reviews are anything to go by.

With a presence of at least 100 attendees at any event, why wouldn’t you book your spot with us? There are drivers rapidly shaping the business terrain into a whole new dynamic. The shape that business takes in the future is being driven by complex, changing and competing forces, at speeds hard to predict. Every sector is being impacted by economic shifts redistributing power at every level, wealth, competition and opportunity globally; new technologies, disruptive innovations, radical thinking, resource scarcity, and a need for new models in business and society. The future isn’t a fixed destination. The vision ahead is continually changing. How can your organization prepare for a future that few of us can define? A depth of understanding and a keen insight into the changing landscape is a must. Be part of the impending move in the ultimate meetings of the mind. All this as we welcome our new baby, Westlands Inside Out and The Westlands Business Network.

To be fair, Villa Raymond isn’t exactly new. And it’s no secret spot, either; the incredible reviews on Trip Advisor clearly show it’s a favourite for many holiday makers. But this stunning holiday villa we recently visited has gotten a complete luxury overhaul, and it’s now at the top of our preferred holiday villas in Diani..

A couple of months ago, we touched base with Anita, a lady whose company provides more luxurious hospitality than anything I’ve experienced. Her invitation led to six members of the Karen Inside Out team on SGR (for the first time for all of us), that weekend. The experience was way better than the online SGR reviews we had read. Pick up was organised, the drive was smooth and we arrived just in time

It was sunset. I watched with an unwavering gaze, as the perfect disc shaped sun dyed the heavens first orange, then red, then dark blue. The pool water gleamed in the last rays of the dying sun. It was magical. I found myself staring at the lustrous grounds and the tasteful villa, basking in warm rays and colour.

The manager, Boniface, and Ruwa (the chef), were absolute stars from the word go. While Ruwa was eager to present the pre-ordered meal, Boniface took us round first.

Sometimes villas can be almost too flashy to relax in. Not this one. Villa Raymond is by all definitions exclusive, with a clean-cut polished look, designer furniture, its spacious areas practically designed- but the contemporary look does not get in the way of comfort.

You walk into an atmosphere of soothing luxury with none of the hushed pomposity often prevalent in high end hotels-you happily just check in and switch off for the duration. The overall effect is the feel that everything is slotted effortlessly into place, with indoor elegance matching with outdoor style and sophistication.

The exclusive structure of the Villa really sells it. Besides the chic, decked pool, there’s a manicured garden, custom-designed for holidaying, with family-friendliness in mind. Light, airy and characterful, the villa offers superb comforts due to the perfect daytime and night time zones layout. The kitchen, dining, lounge, pool and the barbeque area are perfectly linked, but also well separated, allowing guests to make the most of the warm and pleasant climate!

The large and beautiful outdoor kitchen facing the pool is truly world class, featuring the latest in design and finishing. Whether your culinary expertise is limited or you’re an accomplished chef, you’re provided with everything you’ll need in the kitchen. State-of-the-art appliances and devices feature, as well as quality utensils, crockery and cutlery. It is also linked to the dining area, which is furnished with a spectacularly large wooden table, and a matching bench that really define the space. There’s also a chic mini lounge- complete with a flat screen TV, books and well picked games.

Creating the perfect stylish interior is all down to the finer details, and a fusion between elegance and comfort. Well, the bedrooms are a sophisticated sanctuary, combined with a serenity that makes them a haven of tranquillity, and they blend effortlessly with the outdoors. They are simple, elegant and uncluttered, but you still get all the mod cons and high tech touches you’d expect in a modern luxury villa. Chill out on the comfy sofa (one of these sofas converts into a double bed) with a film on 65” Smart TV in the master suite, or use the Bluetooth speakers to fill the room with your favourite music. Soak up in the wine red designer stand-alone bathtub or take a quick shower before checking out the luxurious four poster bed, with beautiful soft cotton linens. Cushions not only match the décor, but are also plush and comfortable.

The guest room is light, airy and lofty, with light curtains that flit prettily on the warm breeze.
We had an alfresco dinner that evening. Ruwa presented a satisfying selection of delicious salads, fresh sea food, and melt-in-your-mouth ice cream.

The next morning, I had my first coffee while sitting in the pool with my colleagues, admiring the sun’s glimmering rays, totally getting spoilt with treats while watching the latest comedy on TV and of course, making plans for the evening.

We still had 3 days to go, so most of our first afternoon was spent sun bathing, reading, napping and practising our photography skills. It was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with the simpler things in life and it’s hard to imagine a more laid-back yet sophisticated and exclusive retreat than Villa Raymond. Besides, the villa is small enough to make each guest feel special.

Look at these striking photos, can you blame us for extending our stay and missing our Monday meetings!
