Eisenhower Matrix for Prioritization
Lovro Magdalenic
I like to do a "brain dump" at the start of each week. Essentially all the tasks I need to get done and then I sort them into my Eisenhower matrix. It's just 4 quadrants:
- Urgent and important
- Urgent but not important
- Important but not urgent
- Not urgent and not important
It would be amazing to have this feature in my opinion. It really helps you prioritize things on a weekly basis, so you can decide what needs to be done each day

This is something that our organizational leadership like to do. We can mimic something using custom fields and a dashboard with a list view, but it's not the same thing and just looks and feel clunky. It would be better if this could be a built in feature. Maybe have the option of picking for a list, folder, space what type of urgency structure should be used; whether the Eisenhower matrix or just plain urgency. Perhaps there are other urgency type based structures that could also be added that I am not aware of. Then dedicated charts in the dashboard view would be the next big helpful thing to add. It would be nice if the charts let you pick which fields you wanted to use for your quadrant.

Can't believe we've been asking for this since 2018. I have seen SEVERAL others posts that should be merged relating to this topic asking for this. So many people want more customisation for both (A) PRIORITY, and (B) MATRIX VIEWS.
A 4 quadrant view based on whatever 4 variables we choose will be a GOD SEND.
white board is soooooo cumbersome for trying to replicate this. dashboards and automations aren't helpful and too much work.
board view as columns is close- but not hitting the mark.
so disappointed this idea was scrapped

Eisenhower Matrix would be Huge+

Having the ability to quickly drag/drop tasks within an Eisenhower Task matrix would help within the overall task decision making process.
For example: a user enters their tasks into an ‘inbox/backlog’. The user then would routinely review those individual tasks and drag/drop them into an Eisenhower Matrix, placing the task into the correct quadrant of the matrix relative to the urgency/importance.
Thank you!

The Eisenhower Decision Matrix
ALSpha7
The Eisenhower Matrix is a productivity, prioritization, and time-management framework designed to help you prioritize a list of tasks or agenda items by first categorizing those items according to their urgency and importance.
Also called an Eisenhower Decision Matrix, Eisenhower Box, or Urgent-Important Matrix, this approach consists of drawing a four-box square with an x-axis labeled Urgent and Not Urgent, and the y-axis labeled Important and Not Important. Then, group the items on your list into one of the four boxes, with the Urgent-and-Important box in the upper left requiring your immediate action. (The explanation is from here: https://www.productplan.com/glossary/eisenhower-matrix/)
We need this feature as fast as possible. I think it will be very beneficial for us and will reduce stress as well. You can add it as a dashboard too if it's a good idea. watch this for more details. https://t3878693.p.clickup-attachments.com/t3878693/2fe0770c-94fb-4c14-8f79-87371b75c852/The%20Eisenhower%20matrix_%20How%20to%20manage%20your%20tasks%20with%20EISENHOWER.mp4?view=open

Lily Chan is this your area too?

Ryan MacAlmon (HPE): This is appropriately set in the Views area. One recommendation would be to use Board View with Swimlanes.
Group by an Urgency CF, and turn on Swimlanes set to Priority/Importance CF.

Caroline Ginty I think we are getting closer with Dashboard on the list level. We just need a bubble chart for the Dashboard.

The matrix needs to be a report or dashboard automatically based on values placed in task

Sigurd Seteklev is this something that could be in the roadmap for Dashboards?

Rename Priority Flags to match Eisenhower Matrix
I use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize my task inbox list. Currently, I use an "urgent" checkbox and an "important" checkbox custom field, then use filters and sorting to order things the way they should be.
Right now, Urgent, High, Normal, Low, and None don't quite map correctly.
Could these be changed to "High", "Urgent", "Important", and "None"?

I really like this idea.
