Earliest deadline first scheduling

Earliest deadline first scheduling is like shuffling your to-do list! It means that instead of doing the tasks in the order that you wrote them down, you should try to finish tasks that have deadlines coming up soonest first. So if you have 5 things to do, and one of the tasks needs to be done by the end of the day and another needs to be done in two weeks, you should do the task that needs to be done by the end of the day first. That way, you make sure you finish it before it's too late. Earliest deadline first scheduling helps you stay organized and make sure you meet all your deadlines.
