# Task prioritization for consultants juggling multiple clients.

Every client's work feels like it should come next. GapRail puts each client's next actions, deadlines and estimated durations beside the free time on your calendar, then recommends the most important task that actually fits the time you have.

GapRail with sample data

## 45 minutes between client calls. Which client gets them?

One client's deck needs a longer block. Another is waiting on approval before you can start. A third has a short task due today that fits the opening. GapRail recommends the one you can start and finish now.

Illustrative example

**45**minutes before your next client call

Client A**Draft the strategy deck · 90 min**Needs longer

Client B**Approve campaign copy**Waiting on client

Client C**Send the revised scope · 20 min · due today** Ready and fits

## How GapRail decides what comes next

1. **Importance first.** Give each task a priority and put it in an Area, such as a client or a job. You can rank your Areas so your most important client counts for more.
2. **Deadlines.** Overdue work and work due soon move up.
3. **Fit.** GapRail compares each task's estimated duration with the free time before your next commitment, across the calendars you connect.
4. **One clear recommendation.** You see why the task was chosen and whether it fits. If nothing fits the time you have, GapRail tells you instead of forcing a bad choice.

## Built for client work that doesn't fit one calendar or one task list

- Keep each client, project or job in its own Area, with its own color.
- Connect more than one calendar account: Google, Apple and supported Microsoft calendars. Access is read-only by default.
- Add tasks by typing them, pasting a list, or adding a private calendar feed from task tools that publish one, such as Asana or Monday.com (one-way import).
- Use it in your browser, on iPhone and iPad, and on Android.

## Prioritizing, planning and scheduling are different jobs

**Task prioritization** answers “what should I do next?” **Daily planning** lays out the whole day. **Automatic scheduling** places tasks onto your calendar for you.

GapRail focuses on the first one. It doesn't rearrange your calendar or move your meetings, and it isn't a team project-management suite or a time tracker. It helps one busy professional choose the next task across all of their clients.

## Questions consultants ask

How should I prioritize tasks across multiple clients?

Compare each client's next action by importance and deadline first, then check which of those you can start now and finish in the time before your next commitment. GapRail does that comparison for you and recommends one task.

Should the loudest client always come first?

No. Keeping each task's priority and deadline visible lets you compare work across clients, instead of reacting to the latest message.

Can GapRail see calendars from different clients or jobs?

GapRail reads the calendars in the Google, Apple and supported Microsoft accounts you connect, and you can connect more than one account. If you already subscribe to client calendars inside a Google account you connect, GapRail can count those events as busy time.

Is GapRail for teams?

No. GapRail is built for individual professionals. It doesn't assign work to other people or replace your clients' project tools.

Will GapRail change my calendar?

Not by default. Calendar access is read-only. Optional write-back is available for Google Calendar only, and it only adds and manages the task events GapRail creates.

How much does it cost?

$11 per month after a 7-day free trial. No credit card is required to start.
