Most HR leaders don't have a time-management problem. They have a prioritization problem. Everything feels urgent, so everything gets treated like it's important. Then the week is gone and the actual priorities never got touched.

The FutHRist Productivity Planner gives you a simple weekly and daily system built around the Eisenhower Matrix: sort what's actually urgent and important from what just feels that way, then plan your week and your days around the answer.

## **What's Included**

- **The Eisenhower Matrix, explained for HR leaders.** Do, Decide, Delegate, Delete, plus a second step for handling the requests that hit your inbox mid-week: Delay or Deny.
- **A Weekly Planning worksheet.** Sort your week's work into Do / Decide / Delegate / Deny-Delay-Delete, then track your key meetings, 1:1s, and stakeholders.
- **A Daily Planning worksheet.** Your top 3 goals, top 3 touchpoints, and a Priority Check-In table to track whether today's priorities are on track, at risk, or blocked.

## Every FutHRist mindset needs the same thing: focus.

This is how you protect it, one week at a time.

## **Format**

Delivered as both an editable Word document (.docx) and a print-ready PDF. Use the Word version if you plan to type directly into it each week. Use the PDF if you'd rather print a stack and fill them in by hand.

## **Who This Is For**

HR leaders, HRBPs, and anyone managing a team's competing priorities who wants a repeatable weekly planning habit instead of a to-do list that just grows.

## **FAQ**

1. **Do I need to use both formats?** → No. Pick whichever you'll actually use. Most people pick one and stick with it.
2. **Can I edit the Word version to fit my own week structure?** → Yes, it's a standard .docx. Add rows, change labels, whatever fits how you actually work.
3. **Is this connected to the Value of Work Matrix Toolkit?** → They're related but separate. The Value of Work Matrix is for mapping where your team's hours go. This planner is for managing your own week. Different tool, same philosophy: be honest about where your time is actually going.
