Getting started with Amplenote

In this guide, you'll learn how to set up Amplenote and start organising your tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix. You'll be able to prioritise and schedule your important tasks efficiently.

Step 1: Sign up and set up

1. Go to Amplenote's website.
2. Click on the "Sign Up" button in the top right corner.

4. Fill in your details and confirm your email if required.
5. Once logged in, take a moment to explore the dashboard.

Step 2: Your first note

1. Click on the "+ New Note" button on the left sidebar.
2. Title your note (e.g., "Tasks for Today").
3. In the note body, list your tasks. For example:

- Finish project report - Call client - Organise files

1. Highlight each task and click on the "Eisenhower" icon (a square divided into four quadrants) to assign urgency and importance.
2. Choose the appropriate quadrant for each task and click "Save."

Step 3: Get better results

1. After scoring your tasks, click on the "Calendar" icon in the left sidebar.
2. Drag and drop your scored tasks into your calendar to schedule them.
3. Use the "Recurring Tasks" feature for tasks you perform regularly by clicking on a task and selecting "Set as Recurring."
4. Review your tasks daily to adjust priorities as necessary.

Pro tip

Use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + N" (or "Cmd + N" on Mac) to quickly create a new note without navigating through the menus.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid neglecting to score your tasks. Many users skip this step, which reduces the effectiveness of the Eisenhower Matrix and leads to poor task prioritisation. Always score your tasks before scheduling them.
