# Outcomes over time: the outcomes view and the showcase

> The two step-back views for a longer arc, what each one shows, and what you can do from them.

Day to day, you work in the chat with one [Action](/docs/concepts/actions) at a time. When you want to step back, Donna has two wider views: the outcomes view, which lists every [Outcome](/docs/concepts/outcomes) you have, and the showcase, which holds one Outcome's whole story. Both are for looking; the work itself stays in the chat.

## Every Outcome, in three rooms

Open the outcomes verb in the top-right corner on desktop (on a phone, the menu glyph in the bottom bar, then **Outcomes**) and every Outcome appears, grouped in three rooms: "going on" holds everything in progress, "resting" holds the ones you have set down, and "landed" holds the ones whose success picture came true. Each row shows:

* the Outcome's Area
* how many Actions you have put in, once there is one
* when it started

Landed Outcomes stay visible in their room rather than disappearing, and so do resting ones: setting something down never hides it. "Going on" and "landed" carry a count. "Resting" does not.

The rooms themselves, and parking, are defined on the [Outcomes](/docs/concepts/outcomes) concept page.

## Opening one Outcome's showcase

When an Outcome is born, it appears as a **card in your chat feed**. Tap the card to open its full showcase.

## What the showcase shows

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="The success picture" icon="mountain-sun">
    The success picture you named, what "done" looks like, with a sense of the effort you have put in so far.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The trail of Cycles" icon="chart-line">
    A spine of [Cycles](/docs/concepts/cycles) runs from your very first one to the one you are in now. You can see the work accumulate, Cycle by Cycle.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

The showcase gathers progress that is otherwise hard to hold in your head. Donna marks nothing in it as late or missed. If you gave the Outcome a starting point, landing it shows that starting point next to where you ended up.

## What you can do from here

* **Reflect on a past Cycle.** Tap one and Donna picks up that thread back in the chat.
* **Land the Outcome.** When the success picture has come true, you land it. A landed Outcome moves to the landed room and stays in your trail.
* **Park it.** Set the whole Outcome down for now. Parking sets no countdown, and you pick it back up whenever.

<Note>
  The doing always happens in the chat: starting the next [Action](/docs/concepts/actions), reviewing a Cycle, shaping what is next. Use the "back to chat" link to return to the work whenever you are ready.
</Note>

## When an Outcome is born

Starting a brand-new Outcome in a desktop-sized window splits the screen: you keep talking with Donna on one side while the Outcome takes shape on the other. When you commit to the first Cycle, the Outcome moves into your feed. On a phone-sized window, the new Outcome appears as a card you tap to open.

<Card title="Go deeper: Finishing big projects" icon="flag-checkered" href="/docs/guides/finishing-big-projects-adhd">
  How the trail of landed Cycles adds up to a finished project over time.
