New feature: goals.

[pereh]

Hello Dennis,

I have a suggestion about a new feature (like Diary, Schedules, Tasks, etc.), which would be 'Goals'.
Use:
- enter the goals you want to reach (short-, middle-, long-term)
- why do you want to reach this goal
- what do you want to do to reach them
- what would you have to do although you may not like it...
- what are your strenghts and weaknesses an the way to get there
- are there any good opportunities ahead that may help you
- what might distract you or keep you from reaching your goal
- what is needed at a special point to go on
- review goals and steps
...

This is a short unsorted list of thoughts about this feature. I think especially with the ability to create links between Diary, Schedules, Tasks and Goals, this could really be interesting.

BR,
Peter.

Thank you Peter!

It's a very good summary of what's needed for this feature and I will add it to my to-do list of things to implement for a future update. I think it's quite a useful feature that will fit in nicely in SDS.

If you think of more specific items needed there, please do post them here, so I can plan development and implementation better as well.

Hello Dennis,

that's what I thought too: it would really fit in nicely!

Some detailed thoughts here:

*******
- enter the goal you want to reach
-- short-, middle-, longterm goal
-- in what aera of my life belongs this goal (me myself, family, profession, ...)
-- why do I want to reach this goal
-- what will change in my life if I will reach / not reach it
-- what will the impacts on my closest surrounding be if I reach / not reach it
-- what priority in my daily life should the attempt of reaching this goal have
-- can the way to reach this goal be broken down into steps

- what might help me to reach this goal <step>
-- what strengths do I have to support me here
-- what opportunities might help
-- how might others probably help me to reach this goal <step>

- what might deter me from reaching this goal <step>
-- what weaknesses might I have to fight here
-- what misfortune might distract me
-- how might others interfere or detain me

- constantly review goals <steps>
*******

It is a bit risky for me to make such definitions, because my language of origin is german, and I am aware that my English is not good enough to make them as precise and to the point as I would be able in German.
I would also welcome the opinion and input of the other users of SDS about my suggestions.

BR,
Peter.

I for one would absolutely love this! I was going to attempt to do a basic version using tasks, but a 'section' for it would be amazingly helpful! Let me think about it some more during the day, see what I can think of (and possible charting 'style' that could be graphed) and get back to you. lol amongst my other day stuff! ^^ I'm going to attempt to try to make a thingy (lol yes, technical term! lmao) and see what happens. ^^ I love being creative! ^^ Btw, I've gotta get to some other tasks atm, but I wanted to add about the Medication section:

Refills Left
Leftovers (lol I always miss dosages, so I always have more than my normal dosage. I'd like to actually 'catch' up one of these days lol)

And if there isn't (going to tinker later to see) a seperate schedule/checklist.. as in whether a person has had their meds 'that day' and what 'time' (as some of us have very wierd sleeping hours lol).


and Pereh, I've got a few Deutsch friends (not only from a former MMO I used to play, but I took german for a few years, and other stuff). If you ever need a hand trying to get the 'wording' on certain things, I'd be more than happy to help, just PM me (or if you'd like I can give you my email addy) and ask away. ^_^

P.S. lol I just figured out a way to deal with my '( )'s that I have when I'm comfy..believe it or not I can actually 'public type/speak!' when I have to lol. Anyways, I figured it out...Grey, smaller font, and italics on 'some' of them where appropos. Woot thank you, SMS! ^^ :p
