When everything feels urgent

Urgent GIFs | Tenor

in crypto ops, almost everything could be called “urgent”. bugs, deadlines, governance votes etc. the result is a team that’s always in reaction mode, with no space left for long-term work

one framework that helps cut through the noise is the Eisenhower Matrix

it splits tasks into four boxes:

its simple, but powerful. it forces a real conversation about what actually deserves an emergency response and what can wait. the tricky part is agreeing on which task goes in which box within a team!

which box is most of your tasks in?

and how do you keep urgency from taking over?

That’s spot on. In crypto it feels like every ping is “urgent” by default, which makes the matrix extra useful.
