One list.
Not two apps.

Every task you own is really answering two separate questions: is it urgent, and is it actually important. Most to-do lists collapse both into a single sort order — due date, or the order you typed things in — which is why the loudest, most urgent thing always wins, whether or not it matters.

The matrix keeps the two questions separate, which is what makes it useful. Do Now is urgent and important — it gets today. Schedule is important but not urgent — this is where the real compounding happens, the strategy work and the workouts that never scream for attention but decide how next year goes. Delegate is urgent but not important to you specifically — someone else should own it. Eliminate is neither, and the matrix's whole point is giving you permission to actually drop it.

Prioro puts all four boxes on one screen, sorted the moment you type a task, so the sorting itself takes no extra step.

Capture everything in one place. The productivity classic Getting Things Done is built on a simple observation: your brain is for having ideas, not holding them. The moment a task lives in two different apps — a work tracker and a personal list — you've recreated the exact problem it warns against. Prioro keeps one list, with a small tag (not a separate folder) to tell work and personal apart when you want to filter.

Then let small, repeated actions compound. Mark any task to repeat — daily, weekdays, weekly — and instead of disappearing when you check it off, it advances to its next date and a streak counter ticks up. That's the whole feature. No calendar of little green squares to maintain, no separate app to open every morning.

It's the same principle behind why small daily habits outperform big, sporadic pushes: consistency compounds in a way a single burst of effort never does.
