Guide
The five-minute
walkthrough.
Everything The Next Thing does, in one short video. Watch the whole thing once and you'll never need to look at the docs again.
What's covered
- 01
Focus areas
Set up columns for the parts of your life that matter — Work, Health, Side Project. One area at a time.
- 02
The one next thing
Each area has a single next action. Promote a brain-dump task to take its place when one's done.
- 03
Brain dump
The pressure valve. Every other task lives here until it's its turn. No priorities, no tags.
- 04
Only mode & Focus mode
Hide every other area, then go fullscreen on the single task you're working on right now.
- 05
Sync & install
Sign in once and stay in sync across devices. Add to home screen on iOS for the full standalone feel.
