Lesson script
  1. Nobody should have to remember everything.You know when you're trying to get to sleep, and your mind starts going through all the things you mustn't forget? That bill. The dentist. Something you promised someone. You've finished for the day, but part of you is still on duty. And sometimes it's not even a particular job. It's that nagging feeling there's something you've forgotten. With work, home, messages, people needing things, there's so much competing for our attention. It's hard to properly switch off. Nobody should have to remember everything. Let's get those thoughts out of your head and into Lyso. Somewhere you can come back to them, instead of having to keep going over them.
  2. Type a task. Press Enter.Start with one thing. Call the dentist. Just type it in and press Enter. There it is. You don't have to organise your whole life before you can get started.
  3. Don't stop, just keep going. Dump it all into Lyso.Don't stop, just keep going. The package you haven't sent. That electricity bill. Dump it all into Lyso. No particular order. Just get it down while you're thinking of it.
  4. Something important? Drag it to the top.Actually, that bill probably needs attention first. Bring it up to the top. You can sort out what matters as you go. For now, the useful thing is that it's here, where you can see it.
  5. Unburden your mind of those nagging worries. It'll be worth it. Out of your head and into Lyso.What else has been niggling away? Water the plants. Send the meter reading. Get those down too. You're giving yourself one place to come back to, instead of having to keep reminding yourself. Out of your head and into Lyso.
  6. Now Lyso remembers it for you.There. The jobs haven't gone away, but you know where they are now. You can see them, decide what needs doing next, and come back to the rest. Keep this list up to date, and you can start to trust it. You don't have to keep running through everything just to make sure nothing gets missed.
  7. Get something done. Tick it off.Then, when you've paid that bill, tick it off. One less thing waiting for you.
  8. Out of your way. Still in Completed.It's out of the way, but it hasn't vanished. You can still find it in Completed if you need to check. Nice. That's one thing dealt with.
  9. Start with Lyso Free, or explore the next lesson.That's what we're making room for. Not just getting things done, but being able to give your attention to what you're doing now, without everything else continually pulling you away. Try it with a few of your own tasks, or stay with me for the next lesson, when you're waiting on someone else.

How Focus works

Busy, yet calm? That’s Focus.

Holding so many things in your head is stressful. Lyso gives you the place to dump it all and keep it safe. Separate today’s wins from things for later, and things you’re waiting on others for. Always know what’s next. Stay calm, stay amazingly productive.
