How to use a organized schedule in 4 agendas inside org (emacs)

Is there something already coded for ORG (emacs) something that helps to create the Eisenhower Matrix?

Four quadrants: urgent and important, urgent not important, not urgent but important, neither important nor urgent I know that can be done in the agenda creating 4 different files, or with some work, but it's possible to use the agenda of the ORG to separate them in 4 quadrants, like the image above?

Solution

  • Just to give an alternative way of organizing the tasks based only in the priorities... I like this because let me decide when to change the tasks category (not automatic using the DEADLINE):

    ;About the 2 elisp lines below: If you want to send items without explicit 
;priorities to the bottom of the list you have to set org-default-priority to the 
;value of org-lowest-priority). I did this to make recognize that: PRIORITY=0 are 
;items without explicit priorities (not A, B or C, but just TODO)
(setq org-lowest-priority ?E)
(setq org-default-priority ?E)

(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
             '("e" "Eisenhower matrix"
               ((tags-todo
                 "+PRIORITY=\"A\""
                 ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Urgent and important")))
                (tags-todo
                 "+PRIORITY=\"B\""
                 ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Important but not urgent")))
                (tags-todo
                 "+PRIORITY=\"C\""
                 ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Urgent but not important")))
                (tags-todo
         "+PRIORITY=0-PRIORITY=\"A\"-PRIORITY=\"B\"-PRIORITY=\"C\""
                 ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Neither important nor urgent"))))
               nil))

    Using that, the following org-mode file:

    * TODO [#A] This is important and urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-11 Thu>
* TODO [#A] This is important but not urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-13 Sat>
* TODO This has no priority but is urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-11 Thu>
* TODO [#B] This has medium priority but is urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-11 Thu>
* TODO [#C] This has low priority but is urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-11 Thu>
* TODO [#A] This is important but has no deadline
* TODO This has no priority and is not urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-13 Sat>
* TODO [#B] This has medium priority and is not urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-13 Sat>
* TODO [#C] This has low priority and is not urgent
DEADLINE: <2021-03-13 Sat>
* TODO This has no priority and no deadline
* TODO [#B] This has medium priority and no deadline
* TODO [#C] This has low priority and no deadline

    looks like this:

    Urgent and important
  refile:     TODO [#A] This is important and not urgent: ver como adicionar os aniversários no ORG
  refile:     TODO [#A] This is important and urgent
  refile:     TODO [#A] This is important but not urgent
  refile:     TODO [#A] This is important but has no deadline

=============================================================================================================================
Important but not urgent
  refile:     TODO [#B] This has medium priority but is urgent
  refile:     TODO [#B] This has medium priority and is not urgent
  refile:     TODO [#B] This has medium priority and no deadline

=============================================================================================================================
Urgent but not important
  refile:     TODO [#C] This has low priority but is urgent
  refile:     TODO [#C] This has low priority and is not urgent
  refile:     TODO [#C] This has low priority and no deadline

=============================================================================================================================
Neither important nor urgent
  refile:     TODO This has no priority but is urgent
  refile:     TODO This has no priority and is not urgent
  refile:     TODO This has no priority and no deadline
