WEBVTT 00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:03.700 Mindwtr is built for Getting Things Done. 00:00:03.867 --> 00:00:08.367 Your Inbox, projects, Weekly Review and Focus are all part of that workflow. 00:00:08.533 --> 00:00:09.600 Here’s how to use them. 00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:12.333 Everything goes into the Inbox first. 00:00:12.433 --> 00:00:16.733 Process each item into a next action, a project, something you’re waiting for, 00:00:16.867 --> 00:00:18.233 reference, or someday. 00:00:18.333 --> 00:00:20.400 A project needs a next action. 00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.533 Review those lists each week, then star a few actions for today’s Focus. 00:00:24.567 --> 00:00:25.867 Now let’s do that in the app. 00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:30.600 Open Quick Add and write down what’s on your mind. 00:00:30.933 --> 00:00:33.967 Here, we’re capturing a launch checklist and giving it a due date. 00:00:34.167 --> 00:00:37.267 Save it, and it goes into your Inbox to sort out later. 00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.733 Open your Inbox and choose Process Inbox. 00:00:41.833 --> 00:00:43.533 You can work through one item at a time. 00:00:43.733 --> 00:00:47.467 In the guided view, Mindwtr asks whether there’s something you need to do about it. 00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:49.333 If there is, choose Yes. 00:00:49.367 --> 00:00:51.767 Then decide whether it’s one action or a project. 00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:57.700 For something you just want to keep, like these presentation slides, choose Reference. 00:00:57.967 --> 00:01:00.800 A photography course you’re considering can go in Someday. 00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:03.300 And an expired flyer can go in Trash. 00:01:03.533 --> 00:01:07.700 Each decision clears an item from your Inbox, so you can move on to the next one. 00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:12.233 Here’s a different example: launching a community campaign. 00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:16.200 We’ll make it a project, with drafting the campaign brief as the first action. 00:01:16.267 --> 00:01:18.800 We can add a kickoff meeting too, then save. 00:01:18.933 --> 00:01:21.200 Open the project and you’ll see both items. 00:01:21.367 --> 00:01:26.000 The first is a Next Action; the extra item stays in Inbox until you clarify it. 00:01:26.167 --> 00:01:28.600 You now have a project and somewhere to begin. 00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:33.733 For this item, we need a reply from Marcus. 00:01:33.967 --> 00:01:35.633 Choose Delegate and add his name. 00:01:35.733 --> 00:01:38.933 We can set a follow-up for next week, then save it to Waiting For. 00:01:39.133 --> 00:01:42.033 That gives us somewhere to check when it’s time to follow up. 00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:48.567 If the next step only takes a couple of minutes, you can do it now and mark it done. 00:01:48.767 --> 00:01:50.933 Otherwise, keep it as a next action. 00:01:51.133 --> 00:01:55.400 A context, like calls, helps you find it when you’re ready to do that kind of work. 00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:59.367 Your plans will change, so make some time for a weekly review. 00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:01.300 Open Review and follow the guide. 00:02:01.467 --> 00:02:04.467 Check your Inbox and calendar, then look through your projects. 00:02:04.633 --> 00:02:06.567 Is there a next action for each one? 00:02:06.700 --> 00:02:10.633 Check who you’re waiting for, and whether any someday ideas are ready to move forward. 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.633 You’re bringing the list up to date so you can trust it again. 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.067 Now let’s choose something to work on. 00:02:19.167 --> 00:02:21.500 Here, we’ll star the reply to the accountant. 00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:23.433 It moves into Today’s Focus. 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:27.467 You can fold the other sections and keep the few actions you’ve chosen in view. 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.767 Pick something that fits the time and energy you have, and give it your attention. 00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:36.067 Start with a few things in your Inbox. 00:02:36.133 --> 00:02:39.433 Work through one, choose its next action, and give it a try.
