🎨 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 ✨
