By clicking the tools icon in the view toolbar at the top right of your Prioritizer, you can access a set of simple prioritization tools to help you sort your to-do's.


Prioritize by day/week

Visualize your to-dos in four chunks based on when they need to get done: today, this week, next week, or later.

Sort by status

Visualize your to-do's in four chunks based on their priority type: ideas, wait, do next, and done.

Your system

Build a process that's entirely your own in this area. You can create columns to categorize action items based on your own classification system, and sort to-dos accordingly.

Importance v. Urgency

When you have many items on your Prioritizer and you're unsure which are priority and which aren't, use the prioritization quadrants to get organized. Drag and drop items from the list on the left into the appropriate quadrant.

Note: for each quadrant, there is a corresponding action that you can take by clicking the gear icon in the top right of the quadrant.

  • Urgent and important: Your "do-first items" that need to be finished right away for the sake of your career/life.

  • Important but not urgent: Items that concern your long-term goals and vision, and consequently should be second in line for your focus and energy.

  • Urgent but not important: Items that are happening now (like a phone call) or that other people have put deadlines on, but that are not of importance to you, your goals, your metrics, or your to-dos. These things should be delegated to a teammate when possible.

  • Not urgent and not important: Items that may not be actionable yet or that shouldn't be done at all. For ideas and roadmap items, these things should be moved to your idea list so that you can come back to them at a later time. Otherwise, they should be archived so you don't waste time or energy on them.

Personal Ideas

This is where your list of ideas goes, and is stored uninterrupted by anything else.

Scheduler

You can use the scheduler view if you prefer seeing your action items and projects on a calendar. Use the month view to move things to specific days:

Use the day or week view to schedule things in specific time frames by clicking the time window in which you'd like the item to be scheduled:
