Anatomy of a task
Status lifecycle
The Eisenhower priority matrix
Bizzy plots tasks on two axes — urgency and importance — and treats each quadrant differently:
The mapping rule is deliberately strict. Only
high counts as urgent or
important — low and medium are treated equally as “not”. Tasks with
null urgency or null importance are routed straight to Q1, regardless of
the other axis, so unclassified work can’t slip past you without being
triaged.
- Q1 — Do First. Urgent and important. The fire-fighting quadrant.
- Q2 — Schedule. Important but not urgent. Where deep work belongs — block time for it.
- Q3 — Delegate. Urgent but not important. Hand off if you can; otherwise batch.
- Q4 — Don’t Do. Neither urgent nor important. Cut, archive, or politely ignore.
The home page widget
Your business home page leads with the priority matrix widget. It pulls together up to 50 tasks plus up to 25 unread messages, grouped into the four quadrants and sorted by due date and then creation time. Unread messages sit alongside tasks so incoming mail and tracked work share one triage surface. Flip between a 2×2 grid and a flat list, and act on items inline without leaving the page.Where tasks come from
- People. You create tasks manually for things you need to track.
- Automations. A rule like “when a customer asks for a refund, create a task for the billing team” emits a task.
- Agents. An agent with the task-creation tool can create one when it decides a follow-up is required. Tasks created this way are flagged so you can audit them.
