Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Eisenhower Matrix?
The Eisenhower Matrix is a time management tool that helps you prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. Named after President Eisenhower, it divides tasks into four quadrants to help you focus on what matters most.
How do I decide which quadrant a task belongs to?
Ask two questions: Is it urgent (needs immediate attention)? Is it important (contributes to long-term goals)? Urgent+Important = Do First, Important only = Schedule, Urgent only = Delegate, Neither = Eliminate.
Is my data saved?
Yes, your tasks are automatically saved in your browser's local storage. They persist even when you close the browser, but only on this device.
Can I move tasks between quadrants?
Yes! Simply drag and drop tasks between quadrants to reprioritize them as your needs change.
