Stop being busy. Start being productive. 

The DISE Method is a simple approach to prioritisation designed to help you cut through the noise, make better decisions about what to do next, and put your time where it matters most.

Whether you’re a busy professional, a student facing a mountain of work, someone overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list, or a neurodivergent person who sometimes struggles with where to start, DISE can help bring clarity to your workload.   

What is DISE?

DISE builds on the proven principles of the Eisenhower Matrix, which considers Urgency and Importance, and adds three practical questions drawn from 20+ years of experience in projects and change management:

D – Deadlines: When does it really need to be done?

I – Information: Do you have what you need to get started?

S – Sizing: How much time and effort will it actually take?

E – Eisenhower Matrix: How urgent and important is it?

Why does it matter?

Deadlines, missing information and the true size of a task are easy to overlook when prioritising. The result can be false starts, rework and misplaced priorities, creating even more of the busyness you were trying to escape.

DISE gives you a simple framework for thinking before doing.
