Visually it works brilliantly going from the core objectives of the strategy expanding outwards to the broken down tactics to deliver against. In some situations I want to have an over-arching outer tactic to deliver against 2 inner objectives - can I do this?
Thanks,

    Hi Laura

    Welcome aboard! Thanks for your inquiry – and for the great feedback.

    Goalscape enforces a strict goal hierarchy (subgoals can have only one parent). The best way to represent 'synergistic' goals (those that contribute to more than one parent) is to create them as Level 1 subgoals (next to the main goal).

    For daily tasks you can record your Progress as the % of days you completed the task (eg a run or cycle ride) in any period, then reset it to 0 at the end of each such period.

    You may be interested in Emmett Lazich's article Getting Things Done – with or without Dates, where he explains how he uses Goalscape in conjunction with a Calendar for daily tasks and occasional events.

    We are investigating an elegant way to represent synergistic goals and will be taking a closer look at this (and other new features) after we deliver Goalscape 3.0.

    Look after yourself, your family, friends and everyone else.

    Richard
