┌─────────────────┬─────────────────┐
│ │ │

│ (Q1) │ (Q2) │
│ │ │
├─────────────────┼─────────────────┤
│ │ │
NOT IMPORTANT│ DELEGATE │ ELIMINATE │
│ (Q3) │ (Q4) │
│ │ │
└─────────────────┴─────────────────┘
```
## Quadrant Definitions
### Q1: Do First (Urgent + Important)
**Priority:** `!high`
**Action:** Do immediately, add to today.md
Signs of Q1 tasks:
- Deadlines today or tomorrow
- Blocking other people
- Production issues
- Client-facing problems
- Health/safety concerns
### Q2: Schedule (Not Urgent + Important)
**Priority:** `!medium`
**Action:** Add to backlog, schedule specific time
Signs of Q2 tasks:
- Long-term goals
- Skill development
- Relationship building
- Strategic planning
- Prevention and preparation
### Q3: Delegate (Urgent + Not Important)
**Priority:** `!low`
**Action:** Can someone else do this?
Signs of Q3 tasks:
- Interruptions
- Some meetings
- Some emails/messages
- Other people's priorities
### Q4: Eliminate (Not Urgent + Not Important)
**Priority:** Consider removing
**Action:** Delete or move to someday.md
Signs of Q4 tasks:
- Time wasters
- Pleasant but unproductive
- Busy work
- Outdated tasks
## Decision Tree
```
Is this task aligned with my goals?
├── No → ELIMINATE or SOMEDAY
└── Yes → Does it have a hard deadline within 48h?
├── Yes → Is it blocking others or high-impact?
│ ├── Yes → DO FIRST (!high)
│ └── No → DELEGATE if possible, else DO FIRST
└── No → Is it important for long-term success?
├── Yes → SCHEDULE (!medium)
└── No → DELEGATE or ELIMINATE (!low)
```
## Application Rules
1. **Daily limit:** Max 3 tasks in "Do First"
2. **Weekly balance:** 60% Q2, 30% Q1, 10% Q3
3. **Review trigger:** If Q1 > 5 tasks, something is wrong
4. **Q2 protection:** Block time for important-not-urgent work
## Reprioritization Triggers
Run `/prioritize` when:
- New urgent task arrives
- Deadline changes
- Blocked on current task
- End of day review
