Describe the time management matrix and what the characteristics are for the four quadrants

What will be an ideal response?

A time management matrix contains divides activities into four quadrants based on whether tasks are important or not important and urgent or not urgent. Quadrant 1 are activities that are urgent and important. They include dealing with missed delivery dates and back orders and handling important customer complaints. Quadrant 2 consists of tasks that are not urgent and important. These activities include relationship building, presentations, and career development. Dr. Stephen Covey states that highly effective people find time for tasks in quadrant 2 . Quadrant 3 activities are those that are urgent but not important. Some of these tasks include answering some email, answering some phone calls, attending some meetings, and having interruptions. Quadrant 4 activities are not urgent and not important and keep employees from doing their work. Surfing the Internet for personal reasons, talking on the phone to friends, or doing busywork are all activities people engage in when avoiding work.
