Urgent-Important Matrix
In this activity, students will use their prioritization and decision-making skills to evaluate a series of workplace tasks. Students will first determine whether each task is urgent or not urgent, then assess whether it is important or not important. Using these criteria, they will sort each task into the appropriate category of the Important–Urgent Matrix. Students will analyze the impact of completing or delaying each task, make thoughtful placement decisions, and explain their reasoning. This activity reinforces time management, critical thinking, and organizational skills in a real-world job context while helping students learn how to effectively prioritize responsibilities.
