Rationalization: Increase productivity with rationalize.me features
Rationalization refers to the systematic and strategic organization of tasks, goals, and projects to optimize efficiency and achieve desired results. It involves thoughtful decision-making, prioritization, and planning to streamline workflows and ensure that efforts are aligned with overarching goals.
Rationalization is the cornerstone of effective planning and productivity.
Rationalization is at the heart of rationalize.me, a productivity application designed to help users streamline their tasks, goals, and projects. It adapts and extends the well-known GTD methodology to provide a comprehensive approach to productivity with a particular focus on goal management.

Planning Your Time Effectively
The Power of Backlogs
rationalize.me introduces the concept of backlogs, serving as dynamic lists with different time-based priorities:
- Today: Contains the most important tasks that need to be completed on the current day.
- Tomorrow: Tasks scheduled for the next day, facilitating proactive planning.
- Week, Month, Year: Strategic lists for mid to long-term planning.
- Someday: A repository for tasks that aren't immediately actionable but are worth considering in the future.
Use backlogs to strategically plan your tasks.

The matrix provides four quadrants – Urgent and Important, Important but Not Urgent, Urgent but Not Important, and Neither Urgent nor Important (Common) – allowing for a nuanced approach to task management.
