FAQs

  • What happens to my priorities and data after I complete the prioritization process?
    The data will be stored on our servers, until you decide to change or delete it. You can print out the priorities, send them to someone by email, or export to your favorite productivity app via Zapier.
  • How are the results calculated?
    The priorities are calculated from your evaluations using the magical weighted average formula: A = Σ (wi * gi) / n, where A is the total weighted average, n is the number of criteria, wi is the relative weight for each criterion, and gi is the grade for the thing evaluated by that criterion.

  • Is my data secure when I use 1st things 1st?
    All your private information is kept private, secure, and not exposed to third parties. However, there are two exceptions: If you use the autosuggestion feature, the tool might anonymously send your criteria and prioritized things to GPT-3 API managed by openai for evaluation. You can send your prioritization results to your team members per email. So they will know your priorities too.
  • How often should I strategize?
    The intuitive prioritization tool can be used daily for common everyday choices. The smart prioritization tool can be best used for long-term or irreversible decisions.
