The four quadrants
| High importance | Low importance | |
|---|---|---|
| High urgency | Do — top-left, crisis and deadlines | Delegate — top-right, interruptions and batchable work |
| Low urgency | Schedule — bottom-left, strategic work worth planning time for | Eliminate — bottom-right, candidates to drop |
What the widget shows
- Up to 50 tasks across the four active statuses:
backlog,todo,in_progress,in_review. - Each quadrant lists the tasks that fall into it, with title, status badge, and due date if one is set.
- Clicking a task takes you to its detail page.
When the widget is visible
- At least one qualifying task: the widget renders on the home page.
- No qualifying tasks: the widget is hidden. Create your first task from the Tasks page and it will appear.
Tips for the quadrants
- Treat Do as a “today” list — if it stays crowded, importance or urgency probably needs re-evaluating.
- Put recurring strategic work in Schedule and actually block calendar time for it.
- Delegate is where to hand work off when that’s an option.
- If Eliminate keeps filling up, consider whether those tasks belong anywhere at all.
