Overview

The Eisenhower Matrix (also known as the Urgent-Important Matrix) helps you decide and prioritize tasks by sorting them into four quadrants based on urgency and importance.

Quadrant Urgent Important Action
🔴 Do Now ✅ ✅ Execute immediately
🔵 Schedule ❌ ✅ Plan a date
🟡 Delegate ✅ ❌ Assign to someone
⚫ Eliminate ❌ ❌ Drop or defer

Features

Core

  • Toggle-based input — flip the Urgent and Important switches and the task is automatically routed to the correct quadrant
  • Smart contextual fields — Schedule tasks prompt for a due date 📅, Delegate tasks prompt for an assignee 👤
  • Markdown persistence — all tasks are saved as a readable Eisenhower Matrix.md file in your vault, fully compatible with search, backlinks, and Dataview
  • Inline editing — click any task text to edit it in place; Enter to save, Escape to cancel

Organization

  • Drag & drop — move tasks between quadrants by dragging them
  • Reorder within quadrant — drag tasks inside the same quadrant to change priority order
  • Hide/show completed — toggle to hide finished tasks and focus on what's pending
  • Task counter — each quadrant shows (pending/total) at a glance
  • Delete confirmation — clicking ✕ opens a confirmation menu to prevent accidental deletion

Scheduling & Delegation

  • Quick date buttons — pick "Tomorrow", "+7 days", or "+30 days" instead of manually selecting a date
  • Assignee autocomplete — previously used names appear as clickable chips for quick selection
  • Overdue alerts — past-due Schedule tasks are highlighted in red with a ⚠️ badge
  • Move with context — moving a task to Schedule or Delegate opens a modal to set the date or assignee

Settings

  • Custom data file — choose which markdown file stores your tasks
  • Auto-complete Eliminate — tasks added to Eliminate are automatically marked as done
  • Responsive layout — works on desktop, tablet, and mobile screens
