I try to use something called the 3D Eisenhower matrix to plan my work, life and basically everything.

On top of the normal Eisenhower Matrix urgency and importance coordinates, I added a frequency coordinate and used it with the following logic.

One-time tasks are dealt the same:

• Urgent and not important => Do;
• Not urgent and important => Schedule;
• Urgent and not important => Delegate;
• Not urgent and not important => Eliminate.

Frequent tasks are handled a bit different:

• Do => Do once and automate the solution;
• Schedule => Plan as the main focus of the teams;
• Delegate => Delegate once, deep dive into the cause of the task and automate future delegation;
• Eliminate => Eliminate once, deep dive into the cause of the task and automate future elimination.
