Have a long list of tasks but don’t know where to begin? This app is a task manager based on the Eisenhower Matrix, a simple method that helps you organize tasks according to their importance and urgency. Even if you have never used the Eisenhower Matrix before, getting started is easy. Add a task and answer a few simple questions to distinguish what needs your attention now from what can be planned for later. Do important and urgent tasks right away. Schedule important but non-urgent tasks. Delegate or reduce tasks that are not important, and remove tasks that are unnecessary. Key Features Decide What to Do First Organize tasks by importance and urgency so you can clearly see your priorities. Capture Tasks Quickly Record tasks as soon as they come to mind, then organize them later when you have time. Focus on the Present View only the tasks that require your attention now and reduce unnecessary decisions and distractions. Organize Tasks by Answering Questions Answer a few simple questions to automatically place each task in the appropriate quadrant. Manage Multiple Projects Create separate projects for work, personal life, study, and more. Each project can have its own Eisenhower Matrix.
