Don’t lose track of your life’s goals
We recently launched Goalee, an app to keep track of you most important goals, via daily/weekly reminders.
The core idea is that all the annoyances, conflicts and struggles we face in our everyday lives pale in comparison with our true goals in life. But we usually tend to lose track of what we desire most, exactly because of problems here and there.
A good approach is to write down your goals; it’s something many recommend and it does work. Until it doesn’t. At least that’s what happened to me — I wrote my goals down on a sheet of paper, but eventually started overlooking it.
I first tried using to-do apps, or habit tracking apps. But this isn’t something to be checked off, 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.
Build a great product? Become rich? Settle down? Become famous? Whatever it might be, don’t lose focus; don’t forget what you desire most; or it will end up forgotten in the sea of daily struggles.
Never forget your destination, but also enjoy the journey!
