Recently, I explained how I implemented zero inbox and started capturing tasks in todoist. By pushing all of my tasks to one place, I cut down on the burden context-switching.
However, this new approach has created a new problem: a ballooning to-do list. Now, I must find a better way manage these tasks.
Fortunately, this article in the Harvard Business Review reminded me of the classic Eisenhower/Covey matrix for prioritizing tasks.
| More urgent | Less Urgent | |
| More important | Do it now | Schedule it soon |
| Less important | Divide & conquer, or delegate | Delete it, say “No,” or toss it in the “someday” folder |
I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks vertigotalks, I’ve started following you and your site. I recommend reconfiguring it so users land on your blog page, which is more interesting, instead of the home page.

Hey Rolfe!
Happy to see you’re writing things about productivity. Kind of reminds me of my 3000-word Eisenhower Matrix blog post that has been sitting in ‘drafts’ for ages!
Since you’re passionate about productivity, I highly recommend the book “The Art of Getting Things Done” by David Allen.
It’s a life-changer for me!

GTD – one of my all-time favorites! I should re-read it. Basically, GTD is my approach to achieving “zero inbox.” Thanks for the comment!
