💡 Getting to know GoalMap

The philosopher Kant once said: “To live without goals is like sailing without a compass.”

We may be busy every day, but if our efforts don’t connect to our goals, that busyness often leads to anxiety and confusion.
GoalMap is a goal-oriented self-management tool designed to help you build a goal-driven mindset, stay focused, and make your time truly meaningful.

🎯 Start with creating a good goal

A clear goal is the starting point of effective management.
Studies show that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them than those who only keep them in mind.

In GoalMap, a good goal usually includes three elements:

1. Write it down — A goal not recorded is as good as forgotten.
   Example: “Complete the first draft of my thesis” is clearer than just “Thesis.”
2. Describe it objectively — Make it specific and measurable, so you can clearly know if it’s achieved.
   Example: “Do 3 English writing exercises per week” instead of “Improve my English.”
3. Set a deadline — A time frame pushes you to act rather than procrastinate.
   Example: “Run 10 km without stopping by June 30.”

🪜 Break goals into actionable steps

Psychologists note that people procrastinate more when facing “big tasks,” while breaking them into small steps makes execution much easier.

In GoalMap, you can turn a long-term goal into weekly or daily actions:

• Study goal: Break down “Pass CET-6 exam” into “Learn 20 new words daily + one practice test per week.”
• Career goal: Break down “Deliver annual project” into “This week: submit design prototype; next week: complete first round of testing.”
• Health goal: Break down “Lose 10 kg” into “Record meals daily + exercise 4 times a week.”

A small task you can complete today is always more motivating than a distant big goal.

📊 Track your progress anytime

Every check-in, completed task, or time log in GoalMap generates multi-dimensional data.
This not only shows how much you’ve done, but also reveals patterns:

• Daily, weekly, and monthly progress at a glance
• Time distribution across different goals to check balance
• Trend comparisons to see if you’re accelerating, stagnant, or falling behind

Example: You may notice that working out 4 times a week for three weeks shows a steady downward weight trend, while your study curve shows a sharp drop one week, reminding you to adjust.

🔄 Adjust your plan flexibly

Plans are never set in stone. Data helps you fine-tune your tasks and goals so they better fit your lifestyle:

• If progress is falling behind, break big tasks into smaller ones.
• If daily tasks are overloaded, remove low-priority ones and leave room for high-priority goals.
• If progress is too fast, it may mean the bar is set too low — adjust to something more challenging.

The perfect plan is not the point. What matters is achieving things you once thought were impossible.
A sustainable plan is built through constant iteration, and it’s this adaptability that keeps you motivated.

🌟 Common use cases

GoalMap is flexible enough to support many scenarios:

• 📂 Project management: work projects, personal innovation, travel planning, exam prep
• 📖 Study planning: graduate school prep, final exam schedules, courses like programming or blockchain
• 🧘 Health management: workout tracking, medical visits, meditation habits
• 📚 Reading plans: e.g. finish 12 books in a year by breaking it down month by month
• ✨ Self-realization: becoming a video blogger, writing a novel, learning a new skill

These examples show how versatile GoalMap can be — whether for concrete tasks or long-term visions, you can always find a way to make progress.
