What is inside
- Four editable quadrants: Do, Schedule, Delegate / Limit, and Eliminate / Park.
- Planning context: record your planning period, goal, and owner.
- Evidence for each decision: identify the goal or responsibility affected, the real deadline, and the consequence of waiting.
- Task record: next action, owner, action date, and dependency or review date.
- Review checklist: reassess urgency, protect scheduled work, confirm handoffs, and remove low-value tasks.
How to use this template in AFFiNE
- Select Use this template, sign in if prompted, choose a workspace, and import your own editable copy.
- Replace the planning period, goal, and owner prompts.
- Put each task in one quadrant, based on importance and urgency. A task is urgent when waiting until your next review has a meaningful consequence.
- Copy the task record for decisions that need evidence or follow-up.
- Revisit the matrix when deadlines or goals change. Duplicate your clean master for the next planning cycle.
Important work can be delegated too. Assigning an owner does not determine the task’s importance. If you cannot delegate a low-priority request, limit, batch, renegotiate, or decline it.
