# Guide to Using Study Workflow - Eisenhower + Ebbinghaus

# Introduction

This guide will help you effectively use the Study Workflow combining the Eisenhower Matrix and Ebbinghaus Revision method to optimize your study and task management.

# 1. Understanding the Eisenhower Matrix

The Eisenhower Matrix is divided into four quadrants based on importance and urgency:

- Important and Urgent: Do It First
- Important but Not Urgent: Schedule It
- Not Important but Urgent: Delegate It
- Not Important and Not Urgent: Discard This

## How to Use the Eisenhower Matrix

- Categorize your tasks into the appropriate quadrants
- Focus on "Do It First" tasks immediately
- Plan and schedule "Schedule It" tasks
- Find ways to delegate or minimize time spent on "Delegate It" tasks
- Eliminate or postpone "Discard This" tasks

# 2. Implementing Ebbinghaus Revision

The Ebbinghaus Revision method helps retain information through spaced repetition. Use the "Ebbinghaus Revision" view in the "Study and Career Tasks" database to track your revision schedule.

## Ebbinghaus Revision Schedule

- First review: 1 day after learning
- Second review: 3 days after learning
- Third review: 7 days after learning
- Fourth review: 14 days after learning
- Fifth review: 30 days after learning

# 3. Combining Eisenhower and Ebbinghaus

- Use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize your study tasks
- Schedule revision sessions as "Important but Not Urgent" tasks
- Use the Ebbinghaus Revision view to track your revision progress
- Adjust task priorities as deadlines approach

# 4. Using the Database Views

- Add new tasks to the "Study and Career Tasks" database
- Use the "ebbinghaus_eisenhower_tasks" view for an overview of all tasks
- Check the "Ebbinghaus Revision" view regularly for scheduled revisions
- Update task status and move between quadrants as needed

# 5. Tips for Success

- Review and update your task list daily
- Be honest about task importance and urgency
- Stick to your revision schedule for optimal learning
- Regularly reflect on your progress and adjust your workflow as needed

By consistently using this combined approach, you'll improve both your task management and information retention, leading to more effective studying and career development.
