 NextAction
 ==========
 
-A more GTD-like workflow for Todoist. Uses the REST API to add and remove a @next_action label from tasks.
+A more GTD-like workflow for Todoist. Uses the REST API to add and remove a `@next_action` label from tasks.
+
+This program looks at every list in your Todoist account.
+Any list that ends with `--` or `=` is treated specially, and processed by NextAction.
+
+Activating NextAction
+======
+
+Sequential list processing
+------
+If a list ends with `--`, the top level of tasks will be treated as a priority queue and the most important will be labeled `@next_action`.
+Importance is determined by:
+ * Priority
+ * Due date
+ * Order in the list
+
+`@next_action` waterfalls into indented regions. If the top level task that is selected to receive the `@next_action` label has subtasks, the same algorithm is used. The `@next_action` label is only applied to one task.
+
+Parallel list processing
+------
+If a list name ends with `=`, the top level of tasks will be treated as parallel `@next_action`s.
+The waterfall processing will be applied the same way as sequential lists - every parent task will be treated as sequential. This can be overridden by appending `=` to the name of the parent task.
