How to use とりあえず in sentences


I am struggling to understand the word "とりあえず". It seems to mean 'as it
stands'. Here is an example sentence as I understand it:

> とりあえず計画がありません  
>  'as it stands we have no plans'

Is this correct? Also, I'm sure I've heard it with the imperative.

とりあえず means:

  1. (Before doing any other things,) First of all

> とりあえず母に合格を知らせる。  
>  Let's first tell mother that (I/we/you..) passed.

  2. (Without time (or chance) to do anything else, ) for the time being

> とりあえずけが人に応急処置をした。  
>  We gave first aid to the injured (as an emergency (a temporary) measure)

In this sense I feel that the example given by the OP is not appropriate. But
we can say

> とりあえず計画を立てましょう。  
>  Let's first make a plan.
