The Eisenhower matrix, one task at a time

The Eisenhower matrix sorts work by two questions, is it urgent and is it important, into 4 answers. Triage asks them about one open task at a time, from every project, and each answer is one key.

How triage works

What does each answer do?

KeyAnswerWhat happens
1Do nowThe task joins today’s list.
2ScheduleIt goes on a real day you pick.
3DelegateYou name who has it and when to check; it comes back that day.
4DropIt goes to the trash, with undo.

Why one task at a time?

Because an answer should change what happens next. In Triage, every answer moves the task: onto today, onto a day, onto someone’s plate with a date to check, or into the trash.

Is there a 2×2 matrix view?

The matrix’s 4 answers live in Triage, one task at a time. There is no grid view.

Which tasks show up?

Every open task without a planned day, oldest first, across all your projects, plus delegated tasks whose check-back day has come.

What do I see before I answer?

The project, the milestone with its pace and days left, the estimate and the category. That’s the evidence for urgent and important. The answer is yours: tidystation never ranks your tasks or picks one.

Questions

What happens when a delegated task comes back?

Triage asks Still waiting on this? Chase it today, keep waiting another 7 days, or take it back.

Can I skip a task?
