Value vs Effort Matrix — free online
You have a long list of things to do, and they all feel urgent. But some give you a lot back for very little work, and others eat your whole week for almost nothing. The hard part is seeing which is which. We added a free tool that lays it out for you — Value vs Effort Matrix — right in your browser.
What it does
You add your tasks, then rate each one for value and for effort. The tool places them on a simple grid, so you can instantly see which are quick wins, which are big projects worth planning for, and which are time-sinks you may want to drop.
Nothing leaves your device
Everything runs inside your browser. Your task list isn't uploaded anywhere and nothing is saved on a server. When you close the page, it's gone — it stays on your own computer.
How to use it
- Open Value vs Effort Matrix and add your tasks, one by one.
- Give each task a value rating and an effort rating.
- Read the grid to see your quick wins, and start with those.
It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
