How to use jasnoo

jasnoo is opinionated. It exists to help you do one thing — figure out what actually matters, then work the next step. Here's the loop.

In 30 seconds
  • 1. Dump every goal, problem, and task onto the canvas.
  • 2. Break each one down into its root causes until something feels doable.
  • 3. Cut dead-ends and noise. Rank what's left against your single most important vision.
  • 4. Open your priorities, do the next physical step, repeat.

The weekly review

Once a week — preferably on your day off — walk through these seven steps. The first time takes an hour. After that, twenty minutes.

Step 1
Get it all out of your head

List every goal you want to achieve, every problem nagging at you, every task you keep putting off. Don't filter, don't rank, don't overthink. Just empty your head onto the canvas.

Step 2
Find the problems behind each goal

For each goal and problem, list the problems that cause it. The things actually standing between you and the outcome you want.

Step 3
Drill down to the root

For each problem, write its root causes. Go as deep as you need. You'll know you've hit the bottom when the next step feels like "I can handle that."

Step 4
Cut the dead-ends and the noise

You'll have a huge tree. Mark what's a dead-end, what can wait, and what doesn't really matter. Trust your gut — you can always change it later.

Step 5
Turn problems into goals

For every problem you kept, write the solutions you can actually take. These become your real, concrete goals.

Step 6
Pick your one vision

The hardest step. What is the one thing you want to bring to life more than anything else? Until you decide, ranking is impossible — everything looks important.

Step 7
Rank everything against your vision

Order your goals by how much each one serves your vision. No ties. If the result doesn't feel right, your vision is wrong — change it and rank again. Do this a few times and patterns appear.

What you actually look at every day

After the review, two screens carry the rest of the week.

Priorities

Your ranked list. Top of the list is the only thing that matters right now. When life happens and the order gets confused, run the wizard again — new priorities will appear.

jasnoo - priorities
Next steps

For the top priority, write the concrete physical step you can take in the real world — and do it. Then the next one. That's the entire daily loop.

Recurring tasks

Bills, trash, exercise, the things that come back every week. Set them as recurring so they stop cluttering your priorities, and you can spend your real attention on what matters.

Yes, this is simple

Simple is not the same as easy. Doing the loop once is trivial. Doing it consistently — and letting it cut things you wanted to keep — is the actual work. Every iteration forces you to drop what doesn't serve your vision. That's the point.
