Practice 7. Priority Matrix

This page helps you turn a long list of possible changes into a clear, manageable plan.
The matrix sorts changes by importance and urgency, making it easier to decide what to act on now and what can wait.

You’ll need: pen, paper (or this page)
Time: 15–20 minutes
Use when:

• You feel overwhelmed by too many changes
• You want to agree on what to tackle first
• You need to balance urgent tasks with long-term goals

Important and urgent (do immediately)	Important but not urgent (plan and schedule)
Not important but urgent (delegate or minimize)	Not important and not urgent (discard)

Tips:

• Start with 3–5 key changes. This avoids overload and keeps focus.
• Revisit this matrix regularly — priorities shift as life changes.
• Be realistic: some “urgent” things may not be important at all.

Outcome: A shared focus on what matters most right now, and a calmer plan for what can wait.
