Prioritize a task list with an Eisenhower plus effort overlay

The prompt
Here is my current task list, unsorted: task_list.
Prioritize it using a combined framework: first classify each task by urgency (urgent/not urgent) and importance (important/not important) in the classic Eisenhower sense, then add a second dimension: estimated effort (quick under 30 min, medium under 2 hours, large half-day or more). Present the result as a table with columns: Task, Quadrant, Effort, Recommended Action (Do now, Schedule, Delegate, Drop). Then give me a suggested order for today assuming I have available_hours hours of real focus time, sequencing for momentum (a couple of quick wins early) while still protecting time for the single most important large task. Explicitly call out anything that looks like it should just be dropped or declined.

Example output
A table sorts 12 tasks, e.g. "Finalize client contract | Urgent/Important | Large | Do now" and "Reorganize shared drive folders | Not urgent/Not important | Medium | Drop." Two tasks get flagged "Delegate" with a suggested owner. The suggested order for a 5-hour day starts with two quick wins (15 min each) to build momentum, blocks a 2-hour window mid-morning for the contract task, schedules a medium task for the afternoon, and explicitly recommends dropping the folder reorganization and declining a low-value recurring status call.
