How to Set Goals and Manage Tasks.>> Find out the best application.

1. Relationship between goals and tasks
In GoalsOnTrack, there isn’t a very strict sense of what should be considered a “goal”, and what should be a “task”. It’s pretty much all up to you. If a goal is too small, it can just be a task; and if a task seems too big, you can make it into a goal.
2. Sub-goals or sub-tasks
There is no hierarchy relationships among goals or tasks. Or in other words, there is no sub-goals, or sub-tasks. Originally I thought this might make things unnecessarily complicated, but now it seems that it might make sense to support this feature. This will probably be implemented in the next version.
3. Goal ‘measure’ field vs Task ‘outcome’ field
If you have noticed, there is a “Measure” field for the goal. The purpose of it is to track how much progress has been made on the goal. In order to make it work, you should enter data as numbers, or at least starting with numbers, such as “25″, “10 chapters”, “2500 visitors”, “$5000″ etc.  This number will be used when computing your actual progress on the goal.
If a goal has a “Measure” field filled, whenever you complete a task for it, you will have a chance to enter a number for “What progress have you made towards the goal?” All these values of completed tasks are added up to calculate your real progress on the goal.
4. Time tracking for tasks
In the software, the time tracking feature is really designed for tracking tasks that won’t take longer than 3 or 4 hours. If your task will take much longer than that, and you still want to track the time on it. It’s suggested you further break down this task into smaller tasks and make the original task as their goal. This way not only you can track the exact time spent on the task, you will also complete it more easily by focusing on one baby step at a time.
