# Tasks

> Track work in Bizzy with a priority matrix based on urgency and importance

Tasks in Bizzy are lightweight to-do items that integrate with the rest of your
workspace — they can be created manually, surfaced from emails by automations,
or produced by agents while they work.

Each task is scored on two axes — **urgency** and **importance** — which place
it in one of four quadrants on the home-page Eisenhower matrix.

## The priority matrix

The urgency × importance matrix sorts work by whether it needs your attention
*now* and whether it moves the needle.

|                  | High importance                    | Low importance                    |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **High urgency** | **Do** — do these first            | **Delegate** — hand off or batch  |
| **Low urgency**  | **Schedule** — plan time for these | **Eliminate** — consider dropping |

Set urgency and importance when you create a task. Change them anytime as
priorities shift.

## Task fields

| Field           | Required | Notes                                                                                       |

| **Due date**    | No       | ISO date — no default                                                                       |
| **Category**    | No       | One of: Bug Fix, Documentation, Feature Request, Meeting, Other, Planning, Research, Review |

## Statuses

Tasks move through six statuses:

| Status        | Meaning                           |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `backlog`     | Captured but not worked yet       |
| `todo`        | Ready to pick up                  |
| `in_progress` | Actively being worked on          |
| `in_review`   | Waiting on review or confirmation |
| `done`        | Completed                         |
| `cancelled`   | Won't be done                     |

The home-page matrix widget shows tasks in the four active statuses (`backlog`,
`todo`, `in_progress`, `in_review`).
