# Tasks

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

Tasks are lightweight to-do items — create them yourself, or let automations
and agents create them from work like incoming email.

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.

| | Important | Not important |
| - | - | - |
| **Urgent** | **Do First** — start here | **Delegate** — hand off or batch |
| **Not urgent** | **Schedule** — plan time for these | **Don't Do** — consider dropping |

Only **High** counts as urgent or important — Medium and Low both count as
"not". A task with no urgency or importance set lands in **Do First**, so
unclassified work gets triaged.

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

## Task fields

| Field | Required | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| **Title** | Yes | Short summary — this is what shows in lists |
| **Description** | No | Longer context |
| **Status** | Yes | Defaults to `todo` — see [statuses](#statuses) |
| **Importance** | Yes | Low, Medium, or High |
| **Urgency** | Yes | Low, Medium, or High |
| **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`).
