You may have heard of the Eisenhower Matrix; a classic framework for prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance.
With AI transforming how we work, the hot question is no longer what to delegate, it’s shifting to what to automate.
That’s where the AI-senhower Matrix comes in.
It helps you decide:
- What AI should fully automate
- Where AI can assist
- What to eliminate entirely
From Prioritization to Automation
The old way: Do, Schedule, Delegate, Delete.
The new way: Own It, Automate It, Eliminate or Automate It.
How to Apply This Today
- Audit your tasks: Where do your tasks fall on the AI-senhower Matrix?
- Own It: High-value, high-complexity tasks where AI can support, but human expertise leads.
- Ex: Strategy, leadership, creative problem-solving.
- Automate It: Repetitive, low-complexity tasks that AI can handle as well (or better) than a human.
- Ex: Data entry, scheduling, reporting.
- Eliminate OR Automate It: Low-value tasks should be cut entirely or automated if necessary.
- Ex: Redundant admin work, outdated processes.
- Start small: For areas you should automate, begin to research automation solutions that can free up time once implemented.
- Re-focus on High Impact Work: Free up time for strategy, creativity, and growth.
