Name a time-management technique commonly taught in CES to prioritize tasks.

• A. Getting Things Done.
• B. The Pomodoro Technique.
• C. The Eisenhower Matrix (Urgent vs Important).
• D. Kanban Method.

Answer: (C)

Prioritize tasks by urgency and importance using a simple grid. This approach, known as the Eisenhower Matrix, divides work into four boxes: tasks that are both urgent and important, tasks that are important but not urgent, tasks that are urgent but not important, and tasks that are neither urgent nor important.

To apply it, do the urgent and important items right away, schedule time for important but not urgent tasks, delegate the urgent but not important ones if possible, and drop or postpone tasks that are neither urgent nor important. This helps you focus on what truly moves you forward and reduces the trap of just reacting to the latest demand.

Why this fits CES time management well is that it gives a clear, quick decision rule for what to tackle now versus later, ensuring high-impact work gets done and less critical activities don’t steal time. It also scales from daily tasks to weekly planning.

Other methods have valuable strengths—Pomodoro helps you sustain focus on a chosen task, Kanban visualizes workflow and limits work in progress, and Getting Things Done emphasizes capturing and clarifying tasks. But they don’t provide the same explicit, prioritization-first framework for deciding what to do next.
