## 💡 Understanding Value vs. Effort Scoring

The **Value vs. Effort Score** helps you prioritize posts based on how much **impact (value)** they deliver compared to how much **work (effort)** they require.  
By comparing these scores across multiple posts, you can identify where to focus your resources for the best outcomes.

Posts are plotted on a **Value–Effort Matrix**, divided into four quadrants:

Quadrant

Description

**Quick Wins**

High value, low effort. These are the most efficient opportunities—tackle these first.

**Big Projects**

High value, high effort. Worth doing, but plan and allocate resources carefully.

**Fill-ins**

Low value, low effort. Good to work on when you have extra time.

**Time Sinks**

Low value, high effort. Typically avoid these, as they consume resources without much return.

By consistently assigning **Value** and **Effort** scores, you’ll maintain a clear overview of priorities and make better decisions about what to build or improve next.
