How should tasks be prioritized based on importance and urgency?

Task prioritization is usually based on the Eisenhower matrix:

• Important and urgent tasks — do first.
• Important but not urgent — schedule.
• Urgent but not important — delegate if possible.
• Not urgent and not important — minimize or eliminate.

For practical application:

• Assess each task by two parameters: importance (impact on project/business) and urgency (deadlines).
• Use priorities or scores to sort tasks.
• Regularly review the task list to adapt to changes.

In Python planning scripts, priority queues like heapq can be used.
