There are 4 main types of of leverage:

The first C is code/automation. If you're performing tasks manually, consider automating them to avoid hindering your progress.

The second C is content. Content refers to standard operating procedures (SOPs) and checklists. By creating an SOP, you can train one person or thousands efficiently.

The third C is capital. It's not about needing money to make money, but about being resourceful. You need to learn how to acquire, utilize, and manage capital effectively.

The fourth C is collaboration. It's about people. Many individuals hit a revenue ceiling, not due to market limitations, but because they struggle to delegate and work through others.

How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed by Schoolwork: The Eisenhower Matrix for Students

School can feel overwhelming, but not everything is urgent and important. The Eisenhower Matrix helps you take control by sorting tasks into Do, Plan, Postpone, and Eliminate.

By using this system, you’ll reduce stress, improve productivity, and stop last-minute panic. Try it out today, and see how much more manageable your schoolwork becomes!

What is the Eisenhower Matrix?

The Eisenhower Matrix organizes tasks into four categories:

1. Urgent and Important (Do) – Critical schoolwork that requires immediate attention.

2. Important but Not Urgent (Plan) – Tasks that matter but can be scheduled in advance.

3. Urgent but Not Important (Postpone or Delegate) – Things that feel urgent but don’t really impact your success.

4. Neither Urgent nor Important (Eliminate) – Time-wasters that don’t help you in the long run.

By placing each task in one of these categories, you can decide what needs to be done now, what can wait, and what can be ignored altogether.

How to Use the Matrix for Schoolwork

1. Do: Urgent and Important Tasks

These tasks require immediate attention because they impact your grades and deadlines. Examples include:

✅ A major assignment due tonight
✅ Studying for a test happening tomorrow
✅ A group project that requires your input right now

Since these tasks are both urgent and important, they should be your top priority. Focus on them first, and don’t let distractions get in the way.

2. Plan: Important but Not Urgent Tasks

These tasks matter a lot, but they don’t have to be done right away. If ignored, they will eventually become urgent (and stressful). Examples include:

✅ Reading assigned chapters for next week
✅ Starting a research paper that’s due in a month
✅ Planning study sessions before exams
✅ Applying for internships or scholarships

The key here is scheduling these tasks in advance so they don’t pile up at the last minute. Use a planner or set reminders to work on them before they turn into urgent crises.

3. Postpone or Delegate: Urgent but Not Important Tasks

These tasks demand attention, but they don’t really move you forward. They can often be postponed, minimized, or even delegated. Examples include:

✅ Answering non-urgent emails or texts
✅ Last-minute requests from classmates who didn’t prepare
✅ Helping someone with their work when you have your own deadlines

Ask yourself: "Does this really need my attention right now?" If not, postpone it to a less busy time or politely say no.

4. Eliminate: Neither Urgent nor Important Tasks

These are time-wasters that add little to no value to your education or well-being. Examples include:

🚫 Mindless social media scrolling
🚫 Binge-watching Netflix instead of studying
🚫 Procrastinating by doing “fake work” (e.g., organizing notes instead of actually studying)

The best approach? Cut down or eliminate these distractions so you can focus on what truly matters.

How to Question Urgency in School

Not everything that feels urgent actually is. Just because a friend or professor asks for something doesn't mean it’s an emergency for you. Before reacting, ask yourself:

1️⃣ How important is this for my success in school?
2️⃣ How urgent is this task, really?

For example:

🔹 A classmate wants help on a project that’s due in a week. Not urgent—you can plan a time to help later.
🔹 Your professor emails about a missing assignment due yesterday. Urgent—this needs immediate attention.

By questioning urgency, you’ll stop feeling pressured by external demands and start focusing on what truly matters for your education.

You can do it!

If you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed by school, you're not alone. Between assignments, exams, group projects, part-time jobs, and social life, it can feel like everything is urgent and important. But the truth is, not all tasks are equal—and treating them like they are leads to unnecessary stress.

The solution? The simple, powerful tool called the Eisenhower Matrix (also known as the Urgent/Important Matrix). This method helps you sort tasks based on their true urgency and importance, so you can focus on what matters most, plan ahead, and avoid last-minute chaos. 🚀
