Third party goal planning connection

It just lists goals and what information you can put into the goal and tracking is exceedingly limited. I would prefer to keep everything in Toodledo. A viable alternative to a third-party goal is to use the Notes, Lists, Outlines, and Habits to help obtain your goals. An indirect method, admittedly, and cumbersome but it does the trick. o Use Notes to help document the Goal (document it like a project - purpose, vision, etc.) o Use Lists, Outlines, or Habits to help track the progress of the goal (personal choice) o Use a single action task to remind and complete work towards goal (attach Note, List, Outline, and Habits) The missing piece here is statistics, which Toodledo does not do well when it comes to goals. Your Notes, Outlines, Lists, and Habits will have to fill in for now. This message was edited Oct 28, 2016.
