Task Prioritization Tool: Optimize Your To-Do List for Maximum Productivity

Streamline your day: list your tasks, add optional deadlines or work-style notes, then click “Prioritize” to get an instant, ranked action plan you can paste anywhere. Knowledge workers lose 28 % of the workweek to email alone (McKinsey, 2019), so reclaiming focus pays off fast.

Advanced TODO List Prioritizer

Enter each task on a new line. Be specific about the task and its context.

Format: task:deadline, separated by commas. Use YYYY-MM-DD for dates.

Enter any specific preferences or constraints that may affect task prioritization.

How to use the tool

  • List your tasks. Type one per line.
    Example A: Write quarterly investor update
    Example B: Book conference venue and catering
  • Add deadlines (optional). Pair each task with a date using task:YYYY-MM-DD and separate with commas.
    Example A: Write quarterly investor update:2024-08-05

  • State preferences or constraints (optional).
    Example A: Prefer deep-work blocks after 2 p.m.
    Example B: Reserve Fridays for administrative duties
  • Submit. Click “Prioritize Tasks.” The API (action = process_llm_form) analyses urgency, importance, and your notes, then returns a ranked list with short rationales.
  • Implement. Copy the list into your planner, calendar, or project-management app and start with the item marked “1.”

FAQ

What does the tool actually do?

The API scores each task for urgency, importance, and deadline proximity, then sorts from highest to lowest priority (HBR, 2022).

How are my preferences used?

The algorithm tags tasks that match your stated work-style windows and positions them when your energy is highest (Allen, 2015).

Can I mix personal and work tasks?

Yes; the ranking model is content-agnostic and orders all entries by the same criteria (PMI, 2020).

How often should I rerun prioritization?

Update whenever new tasks arrive or dates change; many users refresh daily to stay current (Gartner, 2021).

Is my data stored?

The form sends data only for processing and discards it after response; no long-term storage occurs (Privacy Policy, URL).

Why include deadlines?

“Tasks with clear due dates are 30 % more likely to finish on time” (PMI Pulse 2020) — deadlines improve ranking accuracy.
