The Prioritizer works on a simple principle.
When you're in a quandry, you have a lot of things to think about. You can't
determine what's important or what you should do first because everything
seems important!
The Prioritizer helps you see the light because it
simplifies the process. You may not know which feature is important out of a list
of ten items, but you can find the important one when there's only two
being compared.
The Prioritizer just takes your list of ten items and
asks you to compare the items in twos. It keeps score of your choices, and provides
a ranked listing at the end.
It's best to learn by doing! Test drive our
simple example. This example will show you what
you really want out of life -- in 2 minutes!
After you've tried the example, type in the items you'd
like to rank in the startup text box. It's important that you type in one item per
line. In most of the above examples, we've already started a list for you, but you
can add or subtract as many items as you like.
You can even delete all the sample entries and start
with a clean slate. Note, however, that there should be one item per line, and it
will take about 10 minutes to sort 15 items, and 15 minutes to sort 20 items.
After you've entered your items, press the "Start!"
button. We'll then ask you to select between the items one pair at a time. You'll
then get a sorted list showing you your preferences which you can copy
out and paste into your favorite word processor for saving and printing.
When you're choosing between items, you can click on
the "Select" buttons or use the left and right arrow keys. Using the arrow keys
is, however, a little quirky on some platforms.
