Description
Focus Matrix is a smart personal organizer based on the so-called Eisenhower box, a personal productivity strategy created by Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States. The principle uses a special priority matrix that helps break your tasks into several groups depending on their urgency and importance, and work your way through your daily agenda in the most efficient way possible. This app will help you focus on what really matters, and get rid of the things that can be painlessly delegated to others or postponed indefinitely until you have time for them.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app!
I’m really pleased I found this app. It uses the core fundamentals of managing tasks and displays them in a simple easy to understand way. You just have to be honest with yourself when adding or reviewing existing tasks - Is it important? Is it urgent? I used this process all the time at work. Clever use of calendar integration and sync’ing with iOS means you can keep on top of your to-do’s and add new ones whether you’re at home at your desk or you’re using your mobile away from home. Well worth paying for the Pro versions for this reason alone! It’s great that you can add tags to categorise tasks and then use the tag as a filter to view tasks by category. I thoroughly recommend this app!
Good task organiser but could be much better
You cannot fault this app for simplicity in use and design. There are a couple of quirks that are annoying. When you are entering a text on an iPad you have to press return before you can do anything else, such as ad a due date, note etc. Why have I given only 3 stars? That is because the tasks only have a due date whereas I am looking for a task manager that has start and due date with progress shown. Another reason is the lack of documentation: for example, there is an inbox but I have no idea why it is there nor how it should be used. I have contacted their support email address and it took two days before I received a reply and their response was not sympathetic but the attitude was more like someone talking to a young child
Genuine game changer for me!
It’s not the first time I’ve seen the Eisenhower matrix used in personal effectiveness, I’ve used it as part of the covey 7 Habits thing mainly. Anyway really great app, good functionality and good link in with their other app ‘Be Focused’. Also links well through the iPhone calendar with ‘Structured’ app . Apart from saying that the app is great which it is - it takes effort on the side of the user to plan their time with it, it doesn’t plan your time automatically for you, merely provides a framework for the user to do it effectively (might not be some people’s cup of tea but it works for me and is a proven method that has stood the test of time).
