The code screen with one field and the Unlock button — The code screen.

Go through the welcome guide

~2 minutes

The welcome guide runs the first time you use the app. Its first page has two buttons. Press I'm new here and step through its pages. The last page takes you to Values.

Used the app before? Press I have used the app before, then Restore from Dropbox or Load. When your plan is back, press Open my plan.

Try the demo

~5 minutes

On a computer, open Settings and its Your data tab. Press Try the demo.
On a phone, tap More, then Try the demo.

In the window, press Start the demo. You are in a filled-in plan now, and your own plan stays untouched.

Tip. A save file is your backup on this device. In Settings, under Your data, you can also press Connect Dropbox and keep your plan in your own Dropbox too.

After the quick start

When you have 90 minutes, open your first session. After it you have:

Your top five values, ranked.
A purpose for the year, in one sentence.
A Life Areas Map with two or three areas in focus.
Your active vision, picked from Three Futures.
A Summit Goal for each focus area, with a date and a measure.
The milestones of your first quarter, and a plan for your first week.
A habit or two in Habits.

A step that is still locked tells you which step to finish first. Habits is open from the start, so you can track habits first.

Follow the rhythm after that

Daily · 3 min Tick today's habits, write one line, and set three priorities for tomorrow.

Weekly · 10 min On Sunday, review the week and draft next week's three priorities.

Monthly · 30 min Mark each milestone green, amber or red, then set next month's focus.

Quarterly · 1 hr Reread your vision, check your Summit Goals, and pick the next 12 weeks of focus.

Yearly · 2 hr In December, wrap up the year and draft the next one.
