TOPIC: I donated I paid I prayed I worship you

hi there dear trgtds

as I understand is GTD about getting things done - meaning achieving goals. done!
it is very difficult to get a boss on board or discuss something if one appears with a screenshot of goals instead of a simple list.

it is now 2 years a 6 months I am faithfully waiting for the "print the goals" feature..

is it so difficult or is my karma so zero???
I donated I paid I prayed I worshiped you what else could I do??

I truely ponder to involve a russian programmer to fix this for me..

I put here again as Claire asked me to make a list of requirements for the printing goals.

1. Printing each goal with the Information included in “edit” (like print screen)
2. Printing each goal with the information, which projects are part of the goal
3. Printing all goals (like printing current projects)
4. Printing all goals sorted by area of focus
5. Printing goals sorted by topic 6.
Printing all goals sorted by starting date
7. Printing all goals including projects done (measuring progress)
8. Printing all goals including actions done (measuring progress)
9. Printing visions of all goals 10. Printing rewards of all goals
11. Printing obstacles goals 6,7,8 might help clarify what visions and obstacles are recurring patterns in the quest of succeeding in the planned endeavors.

(but as said, nice to have) that's so far what I can think of. Kindest regards from Switzerland wayne

I just want to second this ... I'm starting with goals on my newly licensed copy of ThinkingRock and was surprised at the lack of export ability on goals. Would love to be able to do the same exporting/reporting on goals that I can do with projects and actions! I also wouldn't mind an ability to do an import from an external document. I had to re-type all of the objectives/goals from my corporate HR system into ThinkingRock.

hi there derekburt

exporting of goals is indeed a much needed functionality.
for the importing I found a "workaround" - I collected all my Goals in a simple
textfile - each item on a separate line. then you can import them as "thoughts" to the in - basket. Inbasket > File > Import > thoughts > txt file.
once they appear there you may process these "thoughts" and make goals out of them.
I hope this helps
kkindest regards
wayne

p.s. I use this also when I have a lot of ideas - I just brainstorm (line by line) in a text file and import it later.
