A brutally minimal task management app for people who know that focus is a superpower.
Most task managers are feature-bloated distractions dressed up as productivity tools. 5 That Matter strips away everything except what actually matters: doing the most important work first.
The app is built on four proven frameworks:
- Eisenhower Matrix - Distinguish important from urgent
- Buffett's 25/5 Rule - Cap your focus to 5 tasks maximum
- 80/20 Principle - Identify which tasks drive 80% of results
- Eat That Frog - Do the hardest task first
Result: A task manager that enforces actual focus instead of just promising it.
✋ Maximum 5 active tasks - No exceptions. No cheating.
📌 Only "Important" tasks make the list - Urgent-but-trivial goes to Delegate.
🐸 The Frog always leads - Hardest/most impactful task shown first.
🎯 80/20 flagging - Mark tasks that drive majority of results.
🚫 No multicolored tags, no drag-and-drop theater - Just work.
You have an idea. Before it enters your 5:
- Type the task
- Modal appears: "Is this Important?" (Yes/No)
- Follow-up: "Is this Urgent?" (Yes/No)
Your answers determine where it lands:
| Important | Urgent | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ | ✓ | Active 5 (or Waiting Room if full) |
| ✓ | ✗ | Active 5 (scheduled lower) |
| ✗ | ✓ | Delegate pile (not your job) |
| ✗ | ✗ | Graveyard (with gentle nudge: "Drop this.") |
