« Daily » goal!

[Luc Poitras]

Guys! Recommendation here

And still don’t understand why this « daily » goal is not implemented yet. I believe/ suppose it would take just a few steps to integrate for MLO app.

Here is an example why this feature would be helpful:

Let’s say I want to walk 8000 steps today... 500 more steps than the 7500 steps I did yesterday. I would create a « daily » goal of 8000 steps, and in the advanced filter, I would then group by goal.

Another example:

I want to ensure  to empty my inboxes... and I know I have multiple inboxes (On desk, on Phone, emails, etc) So I would choose « Goal: Daily » in this « Empty my inboxes » element.

And in my day view, there would be a goal group with the « Empty my inboxes » and « Walk 8000 steps » in it... AND possibly the actions related also appearing under them. 

What do you think?

PS: Was thinking of creating a project with end date today... could work... but wouldn’t it be more clear knowing and seeing this Goal daily group?

Thanks

What is the functionality of a goal designation? Right now, if you declare a task to be a weekly goal, then it will show up in a view that is grouped by goals. What if you created a context called "Daily Goal" and then grouped or filtered your tasks by context; would the result be similar?

A group that I work with has a standing zoom for a few hours Monday evening, lunchtime Wednesday and a few hours Friday morning. I have a @GroupZoom context that is set to be open those hours and closed the rest of the time, so issues I've set to be discussed on the zoom do not clutter up me to-do lists when the zoom is unavailable. If there were a daily goal, setting that goal on any of my @GroupZoom tasks would not change the hours that the task would be active. If I were to set a context called @DailyGoal on these tasks, they would be shown anytime either the @GroupZoom or the @DailyGoal context was open. BTW I use the star attribute to mean daily goal.

I like that... Haven’t seen it this way.

An example could be something like: « 70 000 steps completed » and this would be a « Goal: Weekly »... and then have 7 separate tasks called: « 10 000 steps completed » ... one for each day... with the « day specific goal » connected to each.

If you know a bit about GTD, you should remember these: Day specific information; Day specific actions; Time specific actions; and maybe Day specific goal now.

Thanks Dwight!

For the « open/close » approach, wouldn’t work in my « 10 000 steps completed » daily goal because this is something I want to achieve during the day, without knowing exactly when it’s gonna happen (I know I’m there when it says 10 000+ steps on my IPhone health app.

And I suppose using the star could work.

Until now, with your examples, I will continu using context that ressembles your « daily goal » approach.

But, still, I much prefer calling a cat... a cat, and still believe there should be this in edit tasks: Goal: None; Daily; Weekly; Monthly; Yearly.

Thanks again Dwight!
