🎨 Add a splash of color to your goals

Feeling focused like blue? Or full of energy like green? Adding color to your goals can make planning more fun—and a lot easier to manage 🌈

✨ Why add colors to goals?

In GoalMap, every goal begins with a color. It might seem like just decoration, but color plays a powerful role:

  • ✅ Quick recognition: no need to read—just glance at the color to know what goal the task belongs to
  • 📅 Clean calendar: in the monthly view, color is your only visual guide
  • 📊 Review with meaning: colors help you see the bigger picture—not just what you did, but what you’ve been working toward
  • 📱 Widget clarity: with limited space, color carries all the key info

Color is like a second language for your goals. Use it well, and it becomes a quiet, powerful guide in your day-to-day flow.

🧱 How to build your own color system

Giving color a meaning is easier than you think.

Start by grouping your goals into big themes—like:

  • Work / study
  • Health / fitness
  • Family / relationships
  • Growth / challenges
  • Hobbies / inspiration

Then pick a color for each group. Over time, you’ll start to “see” your day: red for work, green for health—your focus becomes instantly clear.

🌈 Example: my color setup (feel free to copy!)

Some people feel more energized by red, others more calm with blue. Choose what feels right to you!

  • 🍎 Red: work / study
  • 🌿 Green: health / fitness / daily life
  • 💗 Pink: family / parenting
  • 💎 Blue: challenges / personal growth
  • 🌈 Others: hobbies, moods, and whatever feels good!

There’s no perfect formula—just go with what helps you feel more in control, more clear, and more you.

🪄 A few friendly tips

  • Stick with consistent colors—it helps build familiarity
  • Avoid giving every goal a totally different color, or it might get messy
  • Seeing lots of blue lately? maybe it's time to rest ☁️

🌱 Final note

Every color tells a little story about you.
Take a fresh look at your setup—you might discover a calmer, clearer, more inspired version of yourself ✨
