Goalsetting Apps for the Iphone: Which 3 Are Best

A goal-setting application allows you to keep track of the major and minor things you have to do. This can be daily, weekly or monthly. The iphone has come along and made goal setting that much easier. There is a wide range of apps available for this purpose. All will allow you to take anything that can be represented by numbers and give you a progress bar to show how you are doing as far as sticking to the schedule.

The problem with most of these apps is that they take a long time to set up and you are left wading through potential due dates and other nonessential before you can actually utilize the product. Some of the technology even confuses goals with what is clearly a habit.

The following are the three best applications that will not get you bogged down with unnecessary menu files.

1. Goal Meter - with this application all you have to do is enter the name of the goal and then assign a number to it that will represent the end of the journey. You set your starting point, enter your increments (i.e. Dollars, hours or whatever) and update the information as you go. The application keeps a running total of your progress. Set up is now complete. The application uses color to show how well you are doing progressing from red and changing to orange, yellow, and green as you get nearer to your goal. It helps to be able to actually visualize your accomplishments.

2. Goal Tender - This seems to have been designed to make certain functions extremely easy for the user. Everything is simple from writing down the goals to making journal entries. It is being hailed as the little app for the big picture and it is living up to the name. This application will also allow you to store your information online by connecting with Outlook, iCal or the google calendar app. The main viewer screen will list your goals and due dates. You can add daily and weekly tasks.

3. reQall - This application makes your iphone as good as any personal assistant. It is always at the ready with a reminder of those important items it is does so in real time and is more like an extension of your own mind. It can transcribe text, make to-do lists and add events to your personal calendar. The application require that you also get an account at reqall.com all of the perks can only be enjoyed by having the corresponding reQuall account.

Of course, no one will reach their goals and fulfill their wildest dreams by just downloading an app. But when technology can make goal setting and goal achievement possible, the sky is the limit. Good luck in reaching your goals this year.
