How I use it
How a client uses Goals to stay aligned.
Goals is the strategic layer. Clients use it when they need to decide what matters over weeks, months, and years, then connect that direction to daily behavior.
1Create the goal and choose the horizon that matches the commitment.
2Assign a life area so the goal contributes to a balanced life system.
3Add milestones or sub-goals when the outcome needs structure.
4Link habits, tasks, and projects that move the goal forward.
5Review progress and adjust the plan before drift becomes obvious.
Features
What Goals includes.
Multiple horizons
Goals can represent long-term direction or near-term targets without flattening them into one list.
Milestones and sub-goals
Large outcomes can be broken into smaller commitments that make progress easier to inspect.
North Star pinning
A client can keep the most important direction visible across reviews.
Progress logging
Manual updates and linked activity both contribute to the record of movement.
Life-area context
Goals can be understood as part of a broader life balance, not just productivity.
Analysis views
Review screens help clients see alignment, momentum, and gaps.
Connected system
Goals connects to the rest of HourLife.
The module is strongest when its records can inform Today, reviews, and the surrounding life system.
