When to use a quadrant chart

  • Saving up

    Plot subscriptions by cost and how often you use them, and cancel the ones in the bottom right.

  • Comparing

    Each thing becomes a dot, so you see at a glance which ones stand out.

  • Explaining

    The four corners tell the story: keep, worth it, forgotten and cancel.
