What it means
Named after President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Urgent-but-unimportant tasks are the ones to delegate; neither-urgent-nor-important ones to drop.
Adding a price makes the delegate box concrete: delegate when someone costs less than your time.
Example
| Do | urgent and important |
| Schedule | important, not urgent |
| Delegate | urgent, not important |
| Drop | neither |
In Time Valuer
Time Valuer answers the delegate question directly: it compares your time's value with the price of paying someone.
