Google Goals – Goal Setting With Google Calendar

GOAL SETTING WITH GOOGLE CALENDAR

We all have things in life we want to achieve. Whether that be to lose a few pounds, finish a task at work or take a vacation. Often we never quite reach these goals, research shows that when people do not write down detailed, measurable goals, more often than not, they fail to reach the mark. In today’s fast-paced digital age very few of us still travel around with a notepad or day-planner, so “writing it down” needs a re-think! Enter Google Goals, a new feature Google rolled out in April 2016 is designed to remind you of your goals, and help you achieve them. Google Goals provides a slick new way to integrate your goals along with your daily tasks allowing you to manage your time easily and efficiently every day.

How Google Goals Work

When you input a goal, Google will automatically schedule your time for your goal based on open slots in your calendar. Google bases this on how you choose to customize the goal. First, you can allocate how much time you want to dedicate to the task. Then it will auto-fill based on that. You can further customize the goal by setting a preference for the time of day i.e. morning mid-day or evening. If a new calendar appointment pops up during this period, Google will automatically reschedule your goal session to a later slot. Google Goals are currently input and established in the mobile client. However, you can still edit and view them on your desktop. So wherever you are, your goals are right there every step of the way. After all, we set them for a reason isn’t it time we achieve these goals and strive for new ones?

How To Set Up Google Goals on Mobile

1) Open the Google Calendar app and tap the red “create” icon. 2) Tap the blue Goal (flag) icon. 3) Choose the type of goal you want to set. 4) Get more specific by setting what kind of activity, time spent, where etc. 6) Choose how often you want your goal to appear on your calendar. 7) Choose how long you want each goal session to last. 8) Choose the ideal time of day for when goal sessions should be scheduled Google Goals is a simple way to integrate your personal goals into your professional calendar. In the end, it’s all about accountability. Finding time to dedicate your life goals is often the toughest part of achieving success. With the help of this app, it’s all displayed right in front of you. It takes the thought out of scheduling and allows you to hold yourself accountable. It’s not going to guarantee your goals to be reached but helps you organize your days to give you the best chance. So, until next time, have fun stormin’ the castle!
