Odessa, Ukraine – XwaveSoft today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Focus Matrix 1.0, their smart personal organizer app for macOS. Focus Matrix’s organizational process is based on the so-called “Eisenhower Box,” which is a personal productivity strategy created by the 34th U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower. The app makes use of a special priority matrix that efficiently breaks a user’s tasks into one of four groups depending on their urgency and importance. This allows anyone to work their way through their daily agenda in the most efficient way possible.

Using the Eisenhower Box method, Focus Matrix breaks tasks into one of four groups: “Important & Urgent,” “Important & Not Urgent,” “Not Important & Urgent,” and “Not Important & Not Urgent.” The color-coded four-square matrix layout of the app offers users a quick snapshot showing which tasks need to be completed immediately, and which can be pushed back until later, or safely delegated to someone else.

“President Dwight Eisenhower was known as one of the most productive presidents in history. His methods for time management, task management, and productivity have been studied by many people,” shares XwaveSoft owner Denys Yevenko. “When I created Focus Matrix, I knew the Eisenhower Box method was the process I should use for the app. No other method so easily makes identifying pressing tasks at a glance, making any user’s productivity increase almost immediately!”

Focus Matrix helps anyone focus on what tasks need to be completed immediately, and also identify which tasks can be delegated to others, or simply postponed until there is enough spare time to work on them. By making use of the four-square matrix, the app ensures a user’s important pressing tasks are completed, without using up precious time working on tasks that can wait until later, or can be delegated to others.

The app allows users to quickly assign an importance level to any task, and to quickly change the priority of a task when needed, via a simple drag-and-drop of the task into another part of the matrix. Tasks can also be delegated to others, via email, iMessage, reminders, or even popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
