Goals

Connect tasks and habits to a goal

Link tasks and habits to a goal so finishing them marks the goal as moved for that day — automatically.

A goal board shows where you’re going; linked tasks and habits are how you get there. When you finish something linked to a goal, Plannedo notes that the goal moved that day, so the evening question mostly answers itself.

Link a task

Open the task.
Click + (Show more fields).
Choose the goal under Goal.
Save.

From the Inbox, use … → Goal. A new subtask starts with its parent’s goal.

Link a habit

Open the habit (the pencil, Habit settings) or create a new one, and pick the goal under Goal. Then Save habit.

Only active goals are offered. Completed and archived goals don’t appear in the pickers.

What happens when you finish one

When you tick off a task or habit linked to a goal, that goal is marked Moved for the task’s or habit’s day. It works from anywhere you tick: Today, Week, Month, the Habits screen and the iPhone and Mac widgets.

Moved replaces a Thought or Not today you had picked for that day — you did move it, after all.
Unticking the task doesn’t take the Moved back. If you ticked something by mistake, clear the answer in the evening check-in.
Completed and archived goals aren’t marked.

On Today, a goal with linked work on the day’s list shows a dashed Moved? button. One tap records Moved without opening anything.

Where links show

Under a task’s title, next to its time and list.
Under a habit’s title on the Habits screen, and next to its streak on Today.
On the Tasks screen, Filter tasks → Goal lists everything linked to one goal.

The Goals screen itself shows the board, not a list of linked tasks.
