TOPIC: Add tasks to goals

I would like to add tasks to goals. That way you can set tasks for daily recurring goals.

There is no plan to add that functionality in the near future. Only projects can be linked to goals at the moment.

I am strangely OK with this once I went through the pros and cons in my head.

For me, my goals are built on the S.M.A.R.T. criteria (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria). My single actions are like mini-goals. I have a task and a defined success. My projects also have a goal. Sometimes these goals I can associate with my personal and professional goals, sometimes not. Sometimes, there is just work that needs to be done.

Listing our goals is not only a good idea but crucial. It helps us define our priorities, understand our current motives, and keep us on track. Most of my goals do require project-organized actions (lots of steps to cross the finish line).

For those single-action goals I complete, well....little victories are awesome.

Sorry, Siddy but I am not sure if you are saying that you would like single actions to be attached to goals or if the current implementation is sufficient in your case.

Whoops! Sorry for the confusion. Allow me to clarify.

I am fine with the current method in place. I record all my goals and review them weekly. I look at what I am currently putting focus on, where my projects are, and if anything needs to shift focus. If I have a recorded goal that is completed in one action, I won't be creating a project for it. I'll simply create one or two actions. If one action, I'll put a note in there to state "this completes X goal". If I do to actions, the first completes whatever is needed for the goal and the second action states the goal has been completed.

Very simple, really.

Clear as mud?

Here's a scenario for which adding tasks to goals would come in handy. Suppose you have a goal to run 10km. in order to achieve this you need to run 3 times a week for 30 minutes. It would be nice if you could schedule these recurring tasks in TR and relate them to your goal.
