Tools for writing: Joe’s Goals

by Matthew Stibbe on November 6, 2006

Screen shot from Joe's GoalsSamuel Johnson, the author of the famous dictionary, once said, “any man may write if he will set himself doggedly to it.”

In my case, I need a little encouragement.  This is why I like Joe’s Goals.

It’s a free, online service that lets you set up daily goals or habits and then check them off each day as they are completed.   For example, mine has:

  • Get up at 6am
  • Write blogs
  • Write 1,000 words
  • Five fruit and veg
  • Write diary
  • Meditate

I also use the notebook feature to keep a food diary.  For more examples of what people track using Joe’s goals, see his ‘zeitgeist‘ page.  Another cool feature is the ability to add a sort of progress graph to your Google home page.

Overall, one of the more useful online tools and you can’t beat the price.

How cool. I think I’ll try it. My traditional “to do” list is getting a little out of hand! Thanks for the tip, Matthew.
