The developer reminds us of the maxim espoused by Dwight D. Eisenhower: “What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important”. Whether or not President/General Eisenhower originated the phrase is irrelevant; what is important is that it is true.

Now for the ACIDS test:
Aesthetics
If you want to prioritise 'things' then, splitting them into the Important Urgent, Important Not Urgent, Not Important Urgent, and Not Important Not Important matrix is an excellent system.
You start by hitting the + and just throwing in everything, one item at a time. Each of these will automatically generate a Process. Whenever you feel like it, review the Processes and select the Important and Urgent on/off switches. In addition you can easily put these into individual buckets (there are some already set and you can easily add/edit/delete these) and optionally assign due dates as well as tags. Especially if you are getting started, turning on the 'Eisenhower Decision Tip' option will help you ensure that you answer appropriately. Then touch the Process icon; your items to be processed will reduce each time you do this.
You've now got a counter on individual buckets, as well as a Due Dates counter.
Cost
Unbelievably, this App is absolutely free, $0.
Indispensability
Everyone needs to be organised; GSDfaster helps you get some discipline into your life.
Dependability
The App works as expected, just a minor niggle that the help is only available on-line.
Security
Dropbox sync is supported.
ACIDS Test Rating:
There's now no excuse for not prioritising.
