It isn't. Sort every task into Do, Schedule, Delegate or Delete, act on what's urgent and important, and let the rest fall away.
Fifteen seconds from chaos to clarity.
The Eisenhower Matrix
Two questions.
Two questions.
Four answers.
Is it urgent? Is it important? Every task fits one of four quadrants, and each one tells you exactly what to do with it.
Schedule plan it
Where real progress lives. Give it a time, and your future self will thank you.
Delegate hand it off
Loud, but not yours to carry. Let someone else handle it.
Delete let it go
Just… don't. The lightest task is the one you never do.
The Eisenhower Matrix, also called the urgent-important matrix or Eisenhower Box, is a way to prioritize by asking two questions of every task: is it urgent, and is it important? It is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, who said in a 1954 speech, I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent.
Stephen Covey turned the idea into the four-quadrant grid in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989). (nothing) To Do puts that grid in your pocket.

Questions
Good to know.
What is (nothing) To Do?
(nothing) To Do is a to-do list app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch built on the Eisenhower Matrix. Every task goes into one of four quadrants: Do (urgent and important), Schedule (important but not urgent), Delegate (urgent but not important) and Delete (neither). You see what to act on now, and what to let go.
What is the Eisenhower Matrix?
The Eisenhower Matrix, also called the urgent-important matrix or Eisenhower Box, sorts tasks with two questions: is it urgent, and is it important? The answers give four quadrants. Do the urgent and important things now, schedule the important ones that can wait, delegate the urgent ones that are not important, and delete the rest.
Who came up with the Eisenhower Matrix?
It is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, who said in a 1954 speech: "I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent." Stephen Covey turned the idea into the four-quadrant time management grid in his 1989 book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
How do I decide which quadrant a task belongs in?
Ask whether it has a real deadline soon (urgent) and whether it moves your goals forward (important). Urgent and important goes in Do. Important but not urgent goes in Schedule. Urgent but not important goes in Delegate. Neither goes in Delete.
How much does (nothing) To Do cost? Is there a subscription?
(nothing) To Do costs $3.99 once on the App Store. There is no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads and no account.
Is there an Eisenhower Matrix app for Apple Watch?
Yes. (nothing) To Do has an Apple Watch app that shows how many tasks are in each quadrant, lists the tasks in Do, Schedule, Delegate and Delete, and lets you add a task, mark it done or delete it from your wrist.
Does it sync between iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch?
Yes. Tasks sync through your own iCloud account, so a task added on Apple Watch shows up on iPhone and iPad. iPad supports multi-window, and iPhone Duo shows all four quadrants side by side when unfolded.
Does (nothing) To Do have widgets?
Yes. It has interactive Home Screen widgets for iPhone and iPad, including an extra-large portrait widget, so you can see and tick off tasks without opening the app.
Does (nothing) To Do collect my data?
No. (nothing) To Do collects no personal data and has no third-party tracking. Your tasks stay on your devices and in your own iCloud, and ARRcade has no access to them.
