matrix
I drew this on paper first — four boxes, a handful of tasks, and a hard question about each one. It fixed my week, so I rebuilt it as a page anyone can use. Drop your tasks into the quadrant they actually belong in and the day gets a lot clearer.

How it works
Three rules, that's it
Dump everything in
Projects, chores, that thing you keep re-remembering at 1am. It only works if the list is honest and complete.
Sort by urgent vs important
Two different questions. Urgent shouts at you; important moves your life. Most of us spend the day answering the shouting.
Protect Quadrant II
Reading, exercise, learning to code, a new language — never urgent, always the thing that compounds. Schedule it or it never happens.
The idea
Urgent isn't important
The matrix comes from a line often credited to Dwight D. Eisenhower: the urgent things are rarely the important ones, and the important ones are rarely urgent. Split your list along those two axes and you get four very different piles.
Quadrant I is the fire — it takes care of itself, because it has to. Quadrant IV is the drain, and you already know what's in it. Quadrant III is the trap: other people's urgency wearing your name tag. And Quadrant II is the whole point. A week where Quadrant II got real hours is a week that moved something.
Nothing here leaves your browser — the board is saved locally on your device, so no sign-up and no account. Bookmark the page and it'll be waiting.
Pass it on
It's free and it always will be. If it helps you get a week back, send it to someone drowning in their own Quadrant I.
