Prioritize tasks with an urgency and importance matrix
Use when your to-do list is overwhelming and you need to decide what to do, schedule, delegate, or drop.
Sort the tasks below into an urgency and importance matrix so I know what to act on.
My current top goal: {{main_goal}}
Tasks:
{{task_list}}
Place each task in one of four buckets:
- Do now: important and urgent
- Schedule: important, not urgent
- Delegate or simplify: urgent, not important
- Drop or defer: not important, not urgent
For each task add a one-line reason for the placement, judged against my top goal. End with a short recommendation: the single task I should start with right now, and two tasks I should consider dropping.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{main_goal}}
- {{task_list}}
