Importance vs Difficulty: Do Now, Schedule, Postpone
Task Compass is an iOS app that transforms the overwhelming question “What should I work on?” into a systematic decision-making process. Using the proven Eisenhower Matrix methodology, it helps you focus on high-impact work by combining importance and difficulty rankings to automatically categorize your tasks into four strategic quadrants: Do First, Schedule, Consider, or Eliminate.
The app leverages a key insight: humans excel at relative comparisons but struggle with absolute judgments. Instead of asking “How important is this task on a scale of 1-10?”, Task Compass asks “Is Task A more important than Task B?” You drag tasks to rank them by importance, then by difficulty. This comparative approach eliminates the “everything feels urgent” trap.
Task Compass integrates seamlessly with Apple Reminders—no data migration required. Your existing reminders sync automatically while preserving all context like notes, due dates, and calendar assignments. The result is a set of automatically organized lists: Do Now, Schedule, and Postpone.
This shows exactly where to focus your time and energy, replacing guesswork with strategic clarity.
