The four quadrants
A task’s quadrant is purely a function of the importance and urgency fields you
set on it. Change either field and the task moves accordingly.
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.
Creating a task from the widget
A Create Task button sits above the quadrants and opens the same form as the Tasks page, so you can add work without leaving the home page. A new task with an active status drops straight into its matching quadrant. When you have no tasks yet, the quadrants show empty-state hints — create your first task with the button and it appears immediately.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.
