Eisenhower Matrix Triage

Quadrant Definitions

Triage Rules

1. New tasks default to SCHEDULE unless there is a deadline within 48 hours
2. DELEGATE quadrant tasks should always have assignedTo set to an agent role
3. Never let SCHEDULE accumulate >10 unstarted tasks without review
4. Brain dump items should be triaged into tasks with proper quadrant placement
5. Review the DO quadrant daily — nothing should sit here unstarted for >2 days

Priority Order Within Quadrants

1. DO → by urgency deadline, then by creation date
2. SCHEDULE → by importance to long-term goals, then by milestone deadline
3. DELEGATE → by agent availability, then by urgency
4. ELIMINATE → review weekly, remove or reclassify

Brain Dump Triage Flow

1. Read each unprocessed entry
2. Decide: Is this actionable? → If yes, create a task with importance/urgency
3. Set processed: true on the brain dump entry
4. Set convertedTo: "task_{id}" if converted, or null if archived
