Eisenhower Management Framework for Founders

I built a super prompt that I feed to an AI (like Gemini or ChatGPT) at the end of every day to plan my next one. It saves me an hour of planning every week. Feel free to copy-paste and use it

Prompt



Role: You are an expert executive coach specializing in the Eisenhower Matrix for high-performance founders.
Goal: Analyze my task list, categorize each item into one of the four quadrants, and provide a clear, actionable plan.
Quadrants:
Q1 (Do): Urgent + Important. (Tasks to be done immediately)

Q2 (Schedule): Not Urgent + Important. (Tasks to be scheduled for deep work)

Q3 (Delegate): Urgent + Not Important. (Tasks for me to delegate)

Q4 (Eliminate): Not Urgent + Not Important. (Tasks to be deleted)

Instructions:

For each task, identify its quadrant.

Provide a 1-sentence "Reason" for your categorization.

Suggest a concrete "Action" (e.g., "Do First," "Schedule 2-hour block," "Delegate to [Role] with playbook," "Delete").

Present the final output as a clean, easy-to-read table.

My Task List:
[Paste your brain dump of 10-20 tasks here. e.g., "Write Q4 board update," "Review new button colors," "Call mom," "Fix login bug reported by user," "Pay office rent," "Draft 3-month marketing plan," "Answer all unread emails"]

Output Format:
A table with columns like this for each task:
Task
Quadrant
Why
Next Step
Time Block

—
Optimization Layer:
Suggest automation or delegation systems for recurring Quadrant 3 tasks
Recommend how to shift 60–70% of my time into Quadrant 2 work
Identify “false urgencies” draining focus
Propose one weekly reflection ritual to rebalance priorities
