I love this concept! It's really hard for most people to hold a long term view of what they want to accomplish in the everyday grind of life. When it comes to goals, do you have any recommendation on how one should set goals?

@sam_schill Hey, Sam, happy to hear you like it! That was exactly my itch. This works for me: set some big, maybe yearly, goals, then break them down into actionable pieces and work on them. The smaller the piece, the easier it is to start; just like with habits. Even though Goalee can help with the above too, it's a bit more than that: set your goals for the next 5/10/20 years, as to not lose sight of where you actually want to head in life, and to ask yourself from time to time if what you're doing right now is helping you get there. Just for example's sake: "I want to become a best-selling author" goes into Goalee. OK, but what does that actually mean? Well, it might mean that your first big goal is to publish your first book in 5 years. And this means you need to get better at writing. This can be accomplished by: practice writing every day, blog every x days, read y books and so on — already actionable items. And these can turn into concrete ideas: create a blog surrounding topic x, network with other writers, contact a few publishers, etc. Ultimately, all of these turn into concrete actionable items: write about topic x every day and post on my blog every other weekday; talk to publisher x, y, z in first semester, and a, b, c in the second; and so on. I'll publish a piece on this topic soon and open up a new section on my blog, be sure to keep an eye out, if you're interested 😁

Hello, everyone! I'd like to offer a quick intro on how Goalee came to be: The issue I faced, as many others, is that I tend to lose track of what I desire most, exactly because of problems here and there. One approach is to start writing down your goals on a sheet of paper, which I did and it worked; for a while, because I eventually started overlooking said sheet of paper. I then tried using to-do apps, or habit tracking apps for this purpose. But this isn’t something to be checked off, something to record progress of, nor a habit to build; it’s a mindset change, if you will. So I ended up building Goalee to add long/mid-term goals and remind myself about them on a daily/weekly basis. It's a stupid simple app, that does only one thing: it sends you notifications about your true goals in life. It could be thought of as the digital version of ”write your goals on a sheet of paper and keep it somewhere you can see it every day”. It helps you remind yourself where you should be heading. You envision yourself being wealthy in 20 years? Or maybe a public speaker? A great parent? A triathlon winner? Write down your goal, set one or more weekly/daily reminders and whenever the notification fires, do not dismiss it, do not ignore it, do not read it hastily. Read it as if it was the first time. Imagine yourself having obtained whatever goal you have in front of you. But don't stop there, or it would be pointless! Ask yourself, "do I act like that person"? Be completely honest with yourself and build up the identity change required, one baby step at a time; no step is too small to be unimportant.

Thank you and have a wonderful and productive day! Roland

@aaronoleary Goalee is not an app to check something off (to-do list) or track (habit tracker). Its purpose is to only and simply remind yourself of the path you want to walk on. One can think of it as the digital version of "write your goals on a sheet of paper and keep it somewhere you can see it every day". Thanks, glad you like it!
