Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out what to do next.

One classic approach is to list all your items, rate them on an urgency and importance scale, and pick those on the top right quadrant. Stephen Covey explains this in his book First Things First.

This can be generalised. Almost anything can be prioritised on a grid.

This page is an offline single-page app that lets you add things and move them around. You can pick your axis scales. Everything’s saved in your browser and available the next time you visit. (But it won’t be available in other browsers or for other people.)

Usage

• Add an item by clicking on the “New item” button on top. You can edit and move the item around.
• Delete the item by delete the text in it. It will vanish in 5 seconds after it loses focus. (If you change your mind, click on the item and press Ctrl-Z to undo.)
• Change the grid: Use + to add rows or columns; clear a label to remove it.
• Change item colors: Ctrl-click an item to change its color.
• Your actions are automatically saved in your browser. Re-visit the page to continue from where you left off.
• Change views by selecting the dropdown at the top right. A view is like a new clean slate. You can add or delete views.
