Manage goals with Google Calendar

I’ve already written about how you can use Google calendar as a diary, and how great it is to take notes and do much more than planning meetings and events. Zee from the Creative Thoughts blog took all this one step further and transformed his Calendar into his whole task management and productivity system.

The basis of it all is that you create 5 year goals, then divide those into one year goals and further divide those into 3 month goals. You create a separate calendar for each three month goal, and you take it from there. You can plan, create events and record information, you just have to choose the right calendar when you create them.

This method is pretty unique, but I see great potential in it, it forces you to think in goals and to work to achieve them. Take a look at the original Google Calendar organization article, where all this is written down in much more detail. I think I’m going to give it a go, I’ll keep you posted.
