Your first five minutes

Sign in, learn the basics on the sample list, start a list, add three tasks, finish one and put one in Today’s Plan.

Five minutes and six steps, from signing in to your first plan for today.

2. Learn the basics

You start in the Sample list, a list to practice on. The Learn the basics card at its top asks for one thing at a time: do it to any task in the list, and the card moves on. It takes a minute.

Then work down Start here, the list’s first section: each task says what to try on it. More on the lesson and the sample list.

3. Start a list of your own

4. Add three tasks

Type the task and press Enter: a new one starts below it. Type two more the same way. More ways to add tasks.

5. Finish one

Swipe a task to the right, or on a computer click its checkbox. It leaves the list and earns you Light ✦. Show finished, at the top of the list, shows it again. More on finishing.

6. Put one in Today’s Plan
