This Quadra method stems from the "Eisenhower Decision Principle".

Tasks are evaluated using the criteria important/unimportant and urgent/not urgent, and then placed in quadrants in an Eisenhower Matrix.

- Important/Urgent quadrant tasks are done immediately and personally, e.g. crises, deadlines, problems.

- Important/Not Urgent quadrant tasks get an end date and are done personally, e.g. relationships, planning, recreation.

- Unimportant/Urgent quadrant tasks are delegated, e.g. interruptions, meetings, activities.

- Unimportant/Not Urgent quadrant tasks are dropped, e.g. time wasters, pleasant activities, trivia.
