Ask HN: Tools to achieve your goals?

2 points by edwardy20 ↗ HN
Are there any apps that allow you to set goals at a certain due date, and then let you subdivide the goals into smaller subgoals and set due dates for those as well?

I am using app called Everest on the iPhone. You can set due date for the goal(dream) and break it down into smaller tasks. Its awesome.

It's not exactly a stand-alone app, but Org-mode in Emacs is pretty excellent for this. I like it because I can take text files with me anywhere (even onto a smartphone if I'm using a syncing app like SpiderOak).

Here's a link to get you started: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-gtd-etc.html

That´s exactly how dev management tools like Jira work.

Or did you want something for your phone only ?

Nope, web apps are just as good.

Then i think that any recent issue tracking software can be used for that :). That s what I do already with Jira
