Classify tasks into urgency-impact quadrants and rank execution order with weighted scoring.
Review the output with Tasks (task|impact|urgency|effort) set to Fix checkout bug|9|10|4 Write weekly report|6|5|3 Refactor helper module|7|4|6, then compare it with the method and limitations on this page before changing other inputs.
Change Impact weight to 0-5 while keeping the rest of the Priority Matrix Planner scenario stable.
If the result moves sharply after changing Impact weight, treat the tool output as sensitive and validate the source input before acting.
Enter tasks with impact, urgency, and effort scores, adjust weights, and get a ranked actionable list assigned to Eisenhower quadrants.
In the text area, type each task on its own line in the format: task name | impact (1–10) | urgency (1–10) | effort (1–10). Example: Fix checkout bug|9|10|4.
Set the impact weight, urgency weight, and effort penalty weight. Higher impact weight prioritizes high-consequence tasks; higher effort penalty demotes complex tasks in the ranking.
The impact and urgency thresholds (default 6 out of 10) control which quadrant each task is assigned to. Raise them if most of your tasks cluster in Quadrant 1, or lower them if too few tasks qualify.
The result lists tasks in descending priority score order with their quadrant label. Use this list as your execution order, and reassign tasks that fall into Quadrant 4 (low urgency, low impact) to a later backlog review.

The Eisenhower matrix is widely understood and rarely applied systematically. Most people use it as a mental model, a quick intuitive classification, and then continue working through tasks in the order they arrived. This planner forces each task through explicit urgency and impact scoring, assigns it to a quadrant based on those scores, and ranks execution order numerically so the result is an actionable prioritized list rather than a conceptual framework that collapses when the first interruption arrives.
