  1. Focus on What’s Important

    Quickly see what you need to do Today, what’s coming up Next, and what’s Scheduled for later. Stay nimble – move your to-dos around freely as your priorities change.

    Badges show you at a glance what’s still left to do – and if a badge turns red, you know something’s due.

  2. Keep Organized with Projects and Areas

    Add Projects for tasks that require more than one step – such as planning your next vacation. Work through each item, and then mark the Project complete.

    As your number of Projects grows, place them inside Areas for added structure.

    And if you can’t work on a Project at the moment, just throw it in Someday – you can always come back to it later.

  3. Working with Tags

    Assign tags like “Home” or “Errand” to your to-dos – so you can easily find them when you’re at home, or out running errands. Use tags like “High” to indicate priority, or create new ones that fit your workflow.

    The filter bar at the top shows all the tags that appear in a list. Clicking a tag narrows the list down to only show to-dos with that tag.

  4. Today is the Day

    Everything you want to accomplish today goes into this list. Use the Today button at the bottom of any list to pick which ones to do, or just drag them over. Don’t worry – anything you don’t finish today will still be here tomorrow.

    To-dos that are due or scheduled for today will automatically appear at the top, in the Daily Review. Choose which ones you’ll start today and postpone the rest until later.

  5. Quick Entry

    The Quick Entry window lets you enter new to-dos into Things from anywhere without having to switch applications. Use a keyboard shortcut to make the window appear.

    This can be configured in Things’ Preferences.

    • Assign tags to find to-dos more easily in long lists.
    • Add notes to provide extra information that will help you complete the task.
    • Set a due date too, but only if your task has a deadline.
