Testimonials
"This is a great service! I gave up on finding an online task manager that would map tasks to goals or projects. Then yesterday I stumbled across this! Great stuff." - Asif R.
"I am excited. It is a very good implementation of 'Getting Things Done'." - Andre C.
"Nice job. I like the clean look and feel and that it focuses on only what is important. Thanks." - Mitsu F.
"The most effective goal setting system in my opinion is one that gives you a place to write out a goal and then have sub-goals and then a list of action items that can be sorted according to date. With a feature like this you will be able to check off what was done and what is overdue. I found all of these features to be available in "GoalsonTrack" and it even warns you of the goals you've been slacking on..." - Afzar N.

General FAQs
How does GoalsOnTrack work and how can it help me?
GoalsOnTrack is a web-based goal setting and task management software that helps you keep your goals on track and get things done. Unlike traditional goal setting software, GoalsOnTrack not only allows you to set and manage goals, but most importantly, it provides functions that help you plan action steps and tasks to follow through, and be able to make real progress on achieving your goals. Beyond that, it also keeps track of how much time you spent on tasks and goals, so that you can better manage your time and priorities. For more features, please refer to the full feature list.
How is the progress on goals being tracked?
Every goal has a number of supporting tasks. If you don't specify the "Measure" field when setting your goal, the progress will be calculated as the percentage of completed tasks over total tasks. If it does get set, for example, you set "Measure" on your goal to be "100 sales calls", then whenever a task is completed, the system will ask you how many "sales calls" you have completed with this task. That number will be accumulated and finally used to calcuate the progress percentage over the goal's "Measure" amount.
How do I track time spent on tasks or goals?
On the "Dashboard" page, you can use timers to track your time spent on tasks. Each task has a timer, and a time progress indictor(a sequence of dots). Once a timer is started, those indictor dots start getting filled up. Each dot represents 15 minutes. So for every hour, 4 dots will be filled up. You can start, stop and resume the timer anytime you want. When you check off a task, if its timer is still running, it will be automatically stopped.
For time spent on goals, it will be the total amount of time spent on all completed tasks that belong to their goal. This is automatically calculated, and you can see the total time spent on goals on the Report page.
Do I have to keep my browser open all the time to use the timers?
No, you don't. You don't have to be logged in all the time when the timer is running. As long as a timer is started, a time log entry is saved on the backend server. You can then close the browser and do whatever you need to do to complete the task. Once it's done, you can go back to the site, and you will see the timer is shown as still running. Now you can stop the timer or check off the task as done. However, there is an upper limit on how long a timer can run, which is currently set at 4 hours. If a task will take more than 4 hours, it is suggested you further break down the task into several smaller tasks.
Can you customize GoalsOnTrack for us?
Yes, we can. If you find another use for the software in your work or life, or wish to customize it for a particular company or some other purposes, please do let us know and we will work with you to make it happen.
