How UndoList Works — 3 Steps to Focus
UndoList uses a simple stop doing list method: capture everything, reflect on what matters, and focus on only 3 tasks. It's the best app to prioritize tasks through subtraction, not addition.
Capture Every Thought
Write It Down in Under 3 Seconds
Open UndoList and write down every task, idea, or obligation that's on your mind. Don't filter. Don't organize. This is the first step of the reverse to do list method — honest, complete capture. The goal is to delete tasks instead of adding them to yet another endless list.
Your inbox is unlimited because this step is about getting everything out of your head. Task prioritization comes later, during reflection.
Reflect on What Matters
The 3 Questions That Change Everything
This is the heart of UndoList's say no framework. For each captured task, you answer three guided questions that reveal what truly deserves your time:
1. Does this align with my goals?
Filter out tasks that feel urgent but aren't important.
2. What happens if I don't do this?
Most tasks have surprisingly low consequences when skipped.
3. Is this the best use of my time today?
Compare against everything else. Only the essential survives.
Keep It, Drop It, or Shelve It
After reflection, each task gets one of three outcomes: keep it on your focus list, drop it entirely, or shelve it in “Maybe Later.” This mindful task management approach is how you use a not to do list to reclaim your time.
Focus on Only 3 Tasks
Your Entire Day, Distilled
After reflection, your focus list contains at most 3 tasks. These are the only things that matter today. This stop doing list app for Android turns the traditional productivity approach upside down — instead of managing hundreds of tasks, you're managing clarity.
The result? Less cognitive overload, less decision fatigue, and more meaningful progress on what actually moves your life forward. It's the elimination strategy that works.
