Goal planner: turn what you want into tasks with a day
A goal that stays in your head does not move. Give it a topic, break it into tasks with a day and a time, and see how far you have come, next to what you write.
A goal is a topic
Create a topic for each goal, such as learning Portuguese or running a half marathon. Every task you add to it stays in one place, and when you open the topic you see everything that belongs to it.
Break it into tasks with a day
A goal is reached through small steps. Write each step as a task, give it a day and, if you want, a time and a duration. What repeats, like practicing three times a week, you set up once as a recurring task.
See how far you have come
The statistics show how many tasks you finish each month and your completion rate, so you can see progress even in weeks that felt slow.
Remember why you started
Next to your tasks you keep the days you wrote. When a goal gets hard, go back and read what you wrote when you set it, and On this day shows you what you wrote a year ago.
A goal, with the idazery method
Write, look, decide, do: from wanting something to doing something about it.
Write
A few lines about what you want and why it matters to you. Nothing to polish, just get it out of your head.
Look
You read it back and ask what would have to be true in a month. What is stopping you, and what do you already have?
Decide
You pick the first step, create the topic and write the tasks with a day. Whatever is not for this week waits in the topic.
Do
The agenda shows this week's steps. You tick them off and, at the end of the week, you look at what you moved forward.
