GoalMaker Products

Please note: GoalMaker currently only runs on Windows platforms - sorry Mac users - we are looking at redeveloping the next version using Java and XML plus a web-based version.

Use GoalMaker for your daily to do list - GoalMaker prioritises your tasks to help you do the important tasks before those that are urgent but unimportant!

... and your progress towards your goals can be automatically measured and viewed in graph form:

Customization

You can now change some of the terminology to suit your own style.  e.g. you may prefer to refer to Functions, Major Goals and Minor Goals instead of the default Roles, Long Term Goals and Short Term Goals.

You can change or replace the Categories and Sub-Categories used in the Check-In screen.
