¶ Urgency-Importance Matrix for SuperMemo Tasklist
E.T. Jaynes says that reasoning must use all available evidence. By analogy, to get what you want, you should use all available tools. ~ Mark Xu
Urgency-Importance Matrices, or Eisenhower Matrices, are well known tools for organising tasklists. They are incredibly powerful.
In SuperMemo, we can replicate this by making four different tasklists for each of the quadrants. I’ve found this has boosted the quality of my tasklist usage DRAMATICALLY and am never going back.
¶ Simmplified Values
For additional simplicity, I have also started only using a 1-5 rankng for the values of tasks, making giving tasks a value far simpler and quicker than before.
¶ Rapid Task Adding
If a task has friction we’re less likely to do it. For that reason here’s an AutoHotkey script I made that lets you add a task from anywhere with the tap of Alt + Space:
#IfWinActive
Alt & Space::
WinActivate ahk_class TElWind
send, !{F1}
sleep, 500
send, !s
keywait, Enter, D T10
send, !d
return
