Eisenhower Matrix
A free, no sign-up Eisenhower matrix that runs entirely in your browser. Add tasks and drag them across the four urgent/important quadrants — Do, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate — to decide what to act on now. Your matrix autosaves locally as you go.
Click “+ Add a task” in any quadrant to drop in a card and type it, then drag it between quadrants as you weigh how urgent and important it really is. Click a card to edit it, recolor it, or use the arrow to send it to the next quadrant. Nothing is uploaded; your matrix lives in this browser tab and autosaves as you work.
Drag a task between quadrants · click a task to edit · everything autosaves to this browser.
What Is the Eisenhower Matrix?
The Eisenhower matrix sorts everything on your plate by two questions — is it urgent, and is it important? The four answers become four quadrants, and where a task lands tells you what to do with it: act now, plan it, hand it off, or drop it. It is a fast way to cut a overwhelming list down to what actually deserves your attention.
Do — urgent & important
Crises and deadlines that need you now. Keep this quadrant small; if everything lands here, the others are being neglected. For scheduling the dated pieces, the Gantt chart maker puts them on a timeline.
Schedule & Delegate
Important-but-not-urgent work is where planning pays off — book time for it before it becomes a crisis. Urgent-but-not-important tasks are candidates to hand off. A Kanban board is handy for tracking the delegated items as they move.
Eliminate — neither
The time-sinks that are neither urgent nor important. Being honest about this quadrant is the whole point: every task you drop here is time back for the first two. Brainstorm what belongs where first with the mind map maker.
How to Use the Matrix
Click + Add a task in whichever quadrant it belongs, then type the task and press Enter. Drag a card to another quadrant as your sense of its urgency and importance changes, or reorder it within a quadrant — on touch screens, the → button on each card sends it to the next quadrant. Click a card to edit its text, tap ● to cycle a colour, and use × to delete it. Everything autosaves to this browser as you work — no account, no upload — and when you want to share or back up, use PNG for a labelled image of the whole matrix or Save JSON to download it and Import again later.
