Online tools for Goal Setting

The best way to work for some people is by utilizing technology to simplify the process. If you fall into this category, try these apps and platforms to create a more efficient and effective work environment for yourself.

JRNL

This digital journal is an excellent tool that you may want to consider. While there are specific journals you can use, we suggest that you choose one that is non-goal setting in format. When you create a journal, you have the opportunity to write in greater detail and you have the ability to create dedicated sections based on your own style, which will allow you to express your feelings more clearly. JRNL is a free resource if you only want to write text-based entries. If you want to add photos or other media, you’ll pay a low annual fee. Check it out.

Basecamp

There are a number of features in this program that help individuals to set goals and accomplish them. Although it is created for teams to help organize teams, there are also features that will help individuals communicate with each other. It is going to be very helpful for you if you utilize this tool to set up multiple to-do lists, that you can use to cover different parts of your life, and even set yourself deadlines. You will be able to set particular goals for each section of your life, and this will effectively set up milestones for you. The best part about all of this is that as long as you have a Gmail account, this service is completely free for you to use.

Goal Buddy

It is also worth taking a look at another free goal-setting program called Goal Buddy. This software works by putting you through the steps necessary to set SMART goals. You can then use the same platform to track your progress toward your goals and stay focused.

Habit List

Goals can also be viewed in another way in that they are nothing more than a build-up of habits, as in the case of losing weight, for instance, you’ll develop the habit of exercising more or changing your eating habits if it’s necessary. Habit List focuses on the habit aspect of goals. There is only an iPhone version of the app, but it’s still a useful tool for setting goals, and if you can try it, it’d be worth the time.

Best Self

This might be the best written journaling resource to help you achieve a number of different goals. I remember when their Self Journal was launched on Kickstarter and all this company has done is thrive in a digital world. So how, does a paper-based product make it onto our online tools list? Well, you have to buy their products online. Check ’em out!
