Need motivation to complete your goals?

If you want to complete your goals, probably the best way to do it is to make them public.

Three scenarios.

1.- You don´t write them, you just say one day to your friends, i´m gonna quit smoking.

Result: This will not work. You just said what you want but without setting it as a goal and without a date to complete, is very difficult that you remember of work on it.

2.- You write it for your self in your phone.

Result: In a couple of months you will not remember your goals and that means you are not actively trying to complete them. And it can be worse, at the end of the year you can remember that you had goals and feel bad because you didn´t complete them.

3.- Write them and publish where everyone can see them.

Result: You will feel more motivated to complete them since anyone can see if you are failing. Periodically you will see your goals and will try to complete them. Does it mean you will complete them? No, but the chances are bigger if you make them public.

complete your goals

Since i need a change because i don´t usually complete my goals, i have created https://indiegoals.com to keep track of my goals.

A couple of things about this tool.

First, is free so that you can make your list and share them with everyone. If i can help anyone to complete at least a goal and make his life better, i will be happy.
There is a paying plan to have private lists. If you want to help with the hosting costs and subscribe, thanks very much. If you want to sponsor, send me a message and thanks too.

Second and VERY IMPORTANT. This app is not related in any way with indiehackers.com or stripe (except that i love indiehackers and i use stripe for payments). If there is something wrong, blame me.

The reason for the name is that i wanted a .com name, i tried with goals, publicgoals, goalzilla, goalfinger but no way. Since I just wanted to launch, i connected to indiehackers for inspiration. Inspiration showed and was calling it indiegoals.com. So BLAME ME, not them.

no shame

If you want to complete your goals, give it a try.

Create a list and publish it on your twitter profile.

Share it with others. Share it again, share share share.

The worst that can happen is that you don´t complete your goals and feel a little bit embarrased.

If you want me to retweet your list send a tweet with your list url and hashtag #indiegoals and i will retweet it.

One last thing. For more features, bugs, support or if you want to talk, contact me on my twitter account. https://twitter.com/ricardorojor.

One more last thing. My goal list for this year (wip) is https://indiegoals.com/public_lists/richard_goals-year-2022

    This is a beautiful example of a spectacular tool that doesn't have people's attention, very creative and functional in its project, procrastination is a big problem with few solutions currently available.

      Thanks Cleiton. Created to use it myself mainly, but i think it can be useful for many people.

      And example is the tool itself. It took me about a week to complete. Was thinking in adding more features but since the goal was releasing it in january, discarded all those things not essential to be able to do it.

      Let´s see how it works and if more people find it useful.
