#decision-making

Prioritize tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix. Four quadrants: 1. Urgent & Important (do first - crises, deadlines). 2. Not Urgent & Important (schedule - planning, learning, relationships). 3. Urgent & Not Important (delegate - interruptions, some emails). 4. Not Urgent & Not Important (eliminate - time wasters, busy work). Plot all tasks on matrix. Focus 80% time on Quadrant 2 (prevention over firefighting). Say no to Quadrant 4. Review weekly. Use tools like Todoist, Notion. Reduces stress, increases strategic thinking. Named after President Eisenhower's decision-making method.

Prioritize product features using RICE scoring. Methodology: 1. Reach (how many users affected per quarter). 2. Impact (how much it improves user experience, 0.25-3 scale). 3. Confidence (certainty in estimates, 0-100%). 4. Effort (person-months required). Calculate RICE score: (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort. Rank features by score. Include qualitative factors (strategic fit, technical debt). Create prioritization matrix visualization. Involve cross-functional stakeholders in scoring.
