The Eisenhower matrix can be a very effective tool in improving time management thereby improving performance. Utilising a good understanding of underlying motivation theory helps to reach a greater understanding of this effect. People are more likely to stay motivated in a field when they are able to attribute success and the potential for high competence in that area. Autonomy is also a crucial part in this motivation. Time management is intrinsically related to these concepts. It involves the planning and structuring of time, to help in goal achievement. Time management can be very effective, promoting motivation through reducing anxiety over work as well as increasing perceived control.
