The dump

Dump it all out. The tool sorts it.

You don’t have to organise your thoughts before you start. Paste a Slack summary, type out everything competing for your attention, or dump the mess in your head into one box. Do This First pulls the actual tasks out of the pile.

You review the extracted list, adjust anything the tool got wrong, and move on.

The quiz

Built to sharpen your thinking, not replace it.

Do This First asks you a few quick questions about each task — who’s asking, what does done look like, how long it’ll take, what the stakes are. One-tap answers, no essays.

Some tasks reveal themselves as things to delegate or drop before the ranking even finishes. The rest get sorted from the answers you gave. And over time, you start asking yourself these questions without the tool.

The answer

Three decisions, one clear next action.

What you get back isn’t another to-do list — it’s a set of decisions. The tasks that need you, ranked. The tasks you’re delegating, with a message ready to send. The tasks you’re letting go, faded so you can see them leave the list.

Pick the one at the top and the tool hands it to Get Shit Done with everything you’ve already said about it. You pick up where you left off.

The toolkit

Do This First is one of five.

NeuroLayers is the operating system for different minds. Do This First sorts everything on your plate into one clear next action. The other four work across the full range of how different minds think, decide, and move.

Reframer

For when a thought is pulling you under. Turns it into something you can work with.

Diffuser

For when a message or conversation has activated you. Separates what was written from what you heard.

Get Shit Done

For when the task is too big to start. Breaks it into achievable chunks you can schedule, share, or hand off.

Do This First

For when you have too many things to do and can't pick one. Tells you where to start.

You are here

Communication Translator

For when the words in your head won't land the way you mean them. Translates what you want to say into what the other person can actually hear.

FAQ

Before you ask.

You can. A general AI chatbot can help you sort a list if you know how to ask for it. But you’re starting from a blank page every time — describing what’s on your plate, explaining the context of each task, and framing how you want the list ranked. Do This First has done that work for you. You dump everything in, answer a few short questions, and get back a list that’s already been decided on.

And when you come back, the tool remembers the shape of your work. The next brain-dump sorts faster.

You review the extracted list before anything happens. Add a task the tool missed. Rename one it got wrong. Delete one that shouldn’t be there. Do This First won’t start ranking until you’ve confirmed what’s actually in scope.
You can skip any question you’re not sure about. The tool will still rank what it can, flag anything with missing context, and let you come back to fill in gaps if the ranking doesn’t feel right. You don’t have to get every answer correct on the first try.
You’re the one who decides what to do, not the tool. The ranking is a starting point, not a verdict. Move a task up or down, override the top pick, or restart the quiz with more detail if the answers don’t match your actual situation.
No. The Eisenhower matrix sorts tasks on two axes — urgency and importance — and asks you to place each one in a quadrant. Do This First asks you about stakes, time, delegation, and what “done” looks like, and returns a ranked order rather than a grid. The output is a next action, not a layout.
A to-do list app holds your tasks. Do This First decides what to do about them. You don’t end up with a longer list — you end up with a shorter one, with the delegations already drafted and the drops already out of the way.
Yes. That’s exactly the situation it’s built for. The quiz separates “feels urgent” from “is urgent” by asking you about stakes, timeline, and whether the task actually needs you. A list where everything felt critical going in usually comes out with two or three things at the top and the rest sorted out.
