Tasks is designed to make you more productive by better managing your time. This is based on the technique followed by the legendary General and former president of the the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower. This method was made popular by Stephen Covey in his popular title “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. Usage: Just drag the ‘+’ icon to any quadrant to create a new tasks. Simple. You can move the existing tasks to other quadrants by dragging the task across. Once you are done with a task swipe right to mark it complete. If you want to delete a task just swipe left. Want to be notified on due dates? select the ‘bell’ icon and set a due date. When a task is due in the next 24 hours it shows a red marker on the task. If the marker is yellow it means that the card is due in the 48 hours. If the due date is beyond 48 hours the marker will be green in color. If you see a blue marker it means there is not due date for that task. How to use tasks effectively Eisenhower’s strategy for taking action and organizing your tasks is simple. Using the decision matrix below, you will separate your actions based on four possibilities. - Urgent and important (tasks you will do immediately). - Important, but not urgent (tasks you will schedule to do later). - Urgent, but not important (tasks you will delegate to someone else). - Neither urgent nor important (tasks that you will eliminate). The great thing about tasks app is that it can be used for broad productivity plans (“What should i plan for the coming week?”) and for managing checklists related to certain tasks (ex: Grocery shopping list).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Matrix Manager holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasks has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Tasks's written reviews are positive against 33% of Matrix Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
