Review: Achieve-IT!
This was basically the first piece of software that I encountered in my search. This also happens to be my first review on this blog. Because my testing procedure is not yet quantified and transparent - this will be a totally subjective review (as are most reviews).
Review: GoalWriter.com
This will not be a very long review, because the software in question is short and sweet.
A word of warning in advance - this particular piece of software needs some getting used to. Also - don't mistake it for what it is not. It is a really simple tool for some really simple yet powerful stuff.
The software gives you an online interface for stating the following:
- Vision statement
- Mission statement
- (SWOT) - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
- Wants and Needs
- Write Your Goals
If you are not clear on what all of that is, have no fear, the help system is... around. Basically steps 1 through 4 will build you up and help set your goals.
And that's it. Yes - you read right - nothing more. Well, you can print your results - but that's it. And that simplicity is what I like about this application.
I have to admit that when I first opened up the website - it disappointed me a bit. As it ripened however in my open tabs, I came to realize that it might be useful to review the fundamentals on a regular basis.
I've already set up a personal reminder to return to this site every week. And I advise you to do the same. I somewhat regret that functionality is not built into the app.
This is hardly what I personally would call a goal setting system, but it's some kind of help to organize your life and get clear about the things you want to accomplish.
PS. If you don't like web interfaces, you can visit GoalComposer.com and try the same thing but offline.
