A great day to everyone!

Approved!

You can grab it here.

Why Goalee? Because Goalie was taken and even though it usually means Goalkeeper, the app guards your goals from being lost in the sea of everyday struggles.

So ... Goalee 💪🏻

I already had some sticky notes around the house with my mid-term goals and after watching the 2 videos mentioned in the previous post, I created another, with my long-term ones and really placed it in my bathroom.

But I was still getting distracted throughout the day.

So ... after a few days I thought ... why not make an app that reminds me?

First I checked my trusty GTD/To Do apps. I could use these, I thought. But my purpose wasn't something that needed to be checked off a list. I didn't want to feel guilty for not ticking a checkbox, nor have to go into an app to "complete" something that doesn't really require completing.

Then I checked some Habit forming apps. But the same arguments applied, more or less. The purpose isn't to form a new habit; it's not something to do.

So I thought I can create something that serves exactly my purpose: to be able to create a "goal", no matter what that is, and be reminded about it at regular intervals; daily, weekly, several times per day, the usual.

Money, fame, knowledge, health, a new profession, it doesn't matter. You choose what you want in life; you decide what's important for you; just don't lose track of it.

Set goals; plan for them; work on them; accomplish your dreams.

This September I had some problems with my knee, basically being trapped at home, mostly in my bed. I was already working from home for quite a while now, so I should have been accustomed. But that wasn't the case, it just went from bad to worse.

Then ... at some point, through all the videos I was watching and books I was reading/looking up to read, I stumbled upon two of Earl Nightingale's videos (and I'll read his book next):

It's not that they changed my life, but ... they did make me think. And I realised that this "rough" period I'm having is just something ephemeral and not even that much of a big deal, especially in the grand scheme of things.

So I got my shit straight, wrote down some goals, changed my attitude and things started falling back into place.
