Frequently Asked Questions

Fix My Priorities is a Priority Matrix (also known as the Eisenhower Matrix) app that helps you decide what to work on next. You place tasks into four quadrants based on their urgency and importance:

• Do Now – urgent and important tasks that need immediate attention
• Plan – important but not urgent tasks to plan for later
• Delegate – urgent but less important tasks you can hand off
• Eliminate – tasks that are neither urgent nor important

By organizing your work this way, you stop reacting to every notification and start focusing on what truly moves the needle.

1. Go to the Matrix page from the navigation menu.
2. Click "Add Task" or start the quick Assessment flow.
3. Answer the 5 guided questions about urgency and importance.
4. Your task will automatically land in the correct quadrant.
5. You can drag and drop tasks between quadrants at any time to adjust priorities.

Tip: You don't need an account to try it out, guest tasks are saved in your browser for 30 days.

Yes! You can use the Priority Matrix and add tasks immediately as a guest user. Your tasks are stored locally in your browser for 30 days.

However, we recommend creating a free account so you can:

• Access your tasks from any device
• Earn medals and track your streaks
• Use the Pomodoro Timer
• Keep your data safely backed up

If you create an account later, your guest tasks are automatically imported.

The Assessment asks you 5 quick questions that score your task on two axes: Urgency (0–10) and Importance (0–10).

• If both scores are 6 or higher, the task lands in Do Now.
• If Importance ≥ 6 but Urgency < 6, it goes to Plan.
• If Urgency ≥ 6 but Importance < 6, it lands in Delegate.
• If both are below 6, it is placed in Eliminate.

You can always move tasks manually if your context changes.

If you are using Fix My Priorities as a guest, your tasks are stored in your browser's local storage. This means:

• They will be lost if you clear browser data or use incognito mode.
• They are not synced across devices.

The fix is simple: create a free account. Your tasks are then stored securely in the cloud and available everywhere. Plus, any guest tasks you already created will be automatically migrated when you sign up.

Medals are a fun way to celebrate your productivity milestones. As you complete tasks and build streaks, you automatically unlock medals such as:

• First Steps – complete your first task
• Streak Starter – maintain a 3-day completion streak
• Task Master – reach 50 completed tasks
• Streak Champion – hit a 14-day streak

Medals are private to your account and serve as personal motivation to stay consistent. You can view your collection on your profile or user dashboard.

The built-in Pomodoro Timer helps you focus on one task at a time using the proven Pomodoro Technique:

1. Pick a task from your matrix.
2. Start a 25-minute focus session.
3. Work until the timer rings, no distractions.
4. Take a 5-minute short break.
5. After 4 sessions, enjoy a 20-minute long break.

The timer is available to logged-in users and tracks your total focused minutes, which you can review in your personal dashboard.

Here is a simple but powerful daily workflow:

1. Morning Review (5 min) – Open your matrix and identify your top 3 "Do Now" tasks.
2. Time-Block – Assign specific time slots to "Plan" quadrant tasks so they don't become urgent.
3. Pick & Pomodoro – Choose one "Do Now" task, start a 25-minute Pomodoro, and give it your full attention.
4. Midday Check-In (2 min) – Move any new urgent items to the correct quadrant.
5. Evening Wrap-Up (5 min) – Mark completed tasks done, review your medal progress, and celebrate your wins.

Consistency beats intensity, small daily habits compound into massive productivity gains.

Yes! Once you are logged in, you can visit your User Dashboard to see:

• Total tasks completed
• Current and longest streaks
• Medals earned
• Total focused minutes from Pomodoro sessions

This data is private to your account and helps you spot patterns, stay motivated, and continuously improve your workflow.

The secret is to protect the "Plan" quadrant. Most urgent crises started as important tasks that were ignored.

Try this:

• Every Monday, schedule time for your most important (but not yet urgent) projects.
• Block that time on your calendar like a meeting.
• Treat it as non-negotiable.

When you consistently invest in the "Plan" quadrant, you dramatically reduce the number of fires you have to fight later. That is the true power of the Priority Matrix.
