Sandglaz helps people focus on what is important. Inspired by the urgent-important matrix and iterative processes, it is a task manager/ to-do list designed to make prioritization easy and productive.

To review it you can signup at http://sandglaz.com it takes 15 seconds or sign in with your google account.

I appreciate all your feedback.

Great work! I would suggest taking some of the clutter out of the design. Make the homepage dropdead simple.

1. On sign up, if there's an error, it clears the password field. Too much friction.

2. Font size could be a little larger.

3. No way to close a task description flyout box except clicking on another task.

4. LOVE the way the first intro to the utility has the tutorial built in with examples preloaded. Really nice.

5. Great functionality.

6. The matrix (unimportant now, unimportant later, etc) doesn't feel natural or even that useful.

Thanks so much for the feedback. About the matrix, separating the important from the urgent is a learnt skill and probably doesn't come naturally like you said :) Here's the background: http://sandglaz.com/blog_posts/3-The-Urgent-Important-Matrix And here's how we use it with iterative development: http://sandglaz.com/blog_posts/10-The-art-of-product-backlog...
