Do you know what ABCDE Planner is and how it differs from other similar apps, all promising to help you organize your tasks?

What is ABCDE Planner?

First of all, ABCDE Planner is a productivity app that can help you, an ambitious person, achieve your goals and improve your life using the ABCDE method. But how does it make it different than any other TODO app on the market, and there are plenty of them?

All other Task management/TDOD apps make all the items more or less equally significant. ABCDE takes a different angle at this issue and distributes items on the same list to different buckets(buckets A, B, C, D, and E).

Why is having buckets A, B, C, D, and E so important?

This approach gives you a different angle of view on your tasks. This enables you to evolve and change items over time. They are not static anymore. Not only it changes priorities, but it changes things in their own nature. So something significant you will over-sudden realize can be delegated. And something previously important might get eliminated altogether.

This way, you get a big picture of the whole time management landscape so you can clearly understand how tasks influence each other—giving you the strategic ability to manage your time. For example, eliminating one task can free some bandwidth for another, more important task. That way, you get closer to achieving your goals instead of bothering with little things.

It can help you aggressively optimize

Organizing tasks properly can give you hints about items that can be eliminated or delegated. Or items that can change their priority. Moving jobs around, not only can you get a more optimal configuration, but it also acts proactively on you. It is nudging you to make compromises and pushing you to sacrifice to achieve the greater good in the end.

All in all, ABCDE Planner introduces other dimensions to your planning. It makes tasks and time management a living process. Tasks not only move on an axis of done vs. todo but grow, shrink, and evolve along the way.
