Help me use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritise my overwhelming to-do list.
Dump everything on your plate here: [LIST ALL TASKS, PROJECTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES]
Help me:
1. **Sort Everything**: Place each item into Urgent+Important, Important+Not Urgent, Urgent+Not Important, or Neither
2. **Do First**: The urgent AND important tasks — how to tackle them today
3. **Schedule**: The important but not urgent tasks — when to block time for them
4. **Delegate**: The urgent but not important tasks — who else can handle these
5. **Eliminate**: Tasks that are neither — give me permission to drop them
6. **Recurring Sort**: How to do this exercise weekly in 10 minutes
7. **Grey Areas**: How to decide when a task feels like it could go in multiple boxes
8. **The Trap**: Why most people live in "urgent" and never get to "important"
9. **Prevention Mindset**: How investing in quadrant 2 reduces future urgency
10. **One-Page Template**: A printable matrix I can use every Monday
