Default What goal software do you reccomend?

I'm tired of writing goals on paper, and having everything get so disorganized. I want to buy some goal software that organizes everything, and helps me stay focused. What have you used/ are using for your own goals? Why do you recommend it? I hope I can get enough answers by tonight, because my goal for today is to research, and buy goal software. Thanks.

What are you looking for IN a goal software actually?

I think that would be an important thing to look at before getting goal software.

I really don't know other than some software that will let me take a goal, and make it into smaller, and smaller steps. Also a place to put daily habits, etc would be good. Maybe be able to see percentage of goal completed as time goes by. Maybe have graphs of some sort to see how your goals are moving forward, etc. I'm really open minded about this. That's why I want others to explain what they are using, and what kind of cool things they can do with it. I might find something in the software that is really cool that I haven't ever thought of. So far I have gone through some different goal software sites, but so many choices have gotten me a bit overwhelmed. Having people personally explain why the software they are using is good would be a serious benefit to me.

Bump. Are you serious? Come on out of 50 people that have viewed this thread, not one of you has any experience with goal software to share? Your recomendation is much appreciated.

Within half an hour of this post, I pleaded in another post for someone to create goal software and sell it. I think the reason no one is posting is because it doesn't exist.
I'm still hoping that someone good with computers runs with the idea. Pretty soon, I'm going to outsource it and distribute it myself

Edit: After careful research (read: I typed "goal software" into Google), I found this site: Goal Setting Software – Reviews Of The Most Popular Programs | Goal Setting Guide

I'll be combing over this one

Well, I used goalpro software a few months ago and discontinued using it because it seemed to be overly complex and did not worked for me.

My idea for you is to read some books on time management,goals( read any books on these subjects if the author is Brian Tracy) and find out efficient ways to use paper.

Goal pro looks interesting, I might try it out. I have read quite extensively on goal s, and time management, and paper just doesn't work for me. I want something that will email me if I forget to do a task, etc. Thanks for the advice though.

I actually picked up GoalPro this morning, haven't gotten a chance to thoroughly check it over yet. What I did notice so far is that there's a wizard mode, a journal, calendar and more. It looks very sweet.

It almost sounds like you want a goal COACH, not goal software.

I think I could do all of this (and more) for you. But I'm not sure what a good pricetag would be for my services. Name your price!

Thanks, but the goal pro 7 looks like what I need, if not I will be in touch.
