👋 Hey, Friend!
Thanks for checking out this template! Whether you’re solo, part of a team, or leading one, prioritization is easy when you rank tasks by effort and impact.
Stressed about doing ALL THE THINGS? This matrix prioritizes tasks for you, showing what to tackle first and what can wait. It’s also a powerful way to manage up, keep everyone focused on what matters, and align on shared goals.
<aside> 💡
Two key questions to ask:
How much impact or value will it deliver?
How much effort will this task take?
</aside>
Traditionally, the impact/effort matrix uses a 2x2 grid, but here you’re levelling up to a 3x3 for more flexibility.
Just fill in the blanks in the Master To-Do List and watch your priorities come to life—you’re welcome! 😉
