Your To-Do List is Broken. Here is the Logic Formula to Fix It.

Stop me if this sounds familiar:

You have 15 tasks on your to-do list. You stare at them for 10 minutes, overwhelmed by the sheer volume, and end up doing… none of them. Instead, you check your email or scroll social media.

This is called Analysis Paralysis.

The problem isn’t that you are lazy. The problem is that your to-do list is “flat.” It treats a 5-minute email (low value) with the exact same visual weight as a major project deadline (high value).

To fix this, you don’t need more willpower. You need a Logic Gate.

The Eisenhower Protocol

General Dwight D. Eisenhower—one of the most productive men in history—used a simple decision matrix to rule his day. He categorized everything by two variables: Urgency and Importance.

• Urgent + Important: Do it immediately.
• Not Urgent + Important: Schedule it.
• Urgent + Not Important: Delegate it.
• Neither: Delete it.

It is a perfect system. But in the heat of the moment, most of us are too emotional to make these decisions objectively. We convince ourselves that checking Slack is “Urgent” when it really isn’t.

Introducing: The Auto-Prioritizer

I realized I needed to remove myself from the equation. So, I engineered a Notion system to make the decision for me.

I built a simple Notion to-do list template called The Auto-Prioritizer. It uses a Boolean Logic Formula to automatically rank tasks.

You don’t type “Priority.” You just input the raw data:

1. Is it Urgent? (Yes/No)
2. Is it Important? (Yes/No)

The system instantly runs the code and tells you exactly what to do using a color-coded traffic light system:

• 🔴 DO NOW: (High Urgency + High Importance)
• 🟡 SCHEDULE: (Low Urgency + High Importance)
• 🔵 DELEGATE: (High Urgency + Low Importance)
• 🟢 DELETE: (Low Urgency + Low Importance)

It strips away the emotion and leaves you with a clear execution plan.

Get the System for Free

I usually build complex logic stacks for data analysis (like my full Logic Stack system), but I believe basic productivity should be accessible to everyone.

I have packaged The Auto-Prioritizer as a Free Notion Template. You can duplicate it into your own workspace and start using the logic immediately.
