Hello everyone,
My name is Lew Evans. I am a Baltimore Business owner. I own On Demand Labor Baltimore. I am an avid sailor and am in love with the Chesapeake Bay. I am Married to the most spectacular woman I have ever met. We have an absolutely great life together and are planning to enter our retirement. We're both 56 years old. We both want to be as healthy as possible during that retirement. My wife is vegan, enjoys yoga, spa time, and our home gym. The only exercise I get is when I sail our 37 foot Tartan sailboat. It is a mystery to all who know me, how I remain so healthy.
I am using Goalist in order to help better monitor my daily productivity. I currently use an old fashioned leather planner that I keep with me even when I sleep. I like to write everything down, and my associates know that once something is written in my planner, it is "written in stone". I am always prompt and believe in accuracy. Goalist will allow me to tweak my productivity.
My main concern today is returning to my physical strength and flexibility. I have no health issues and know the extra 15 pounds I carry will be easily lost by Spring. I simply need to create and maintain a tight schedule that can be monitored and improved/adjusted.
Thank you so much for Goalist. I am sure it will help me reach my goals of a healthy, happy retirement.
Lew
Hello. My name is Peter.
I took early retirement from a successful IT career in Belgium and abroad, to enjoy tropical paradise life in the Philippines.
With plenty of time at hand, no more external work-related markers (schedule, meetings, targets), and still plenty of interests and things to do, I needed an Android app to help me plan my day.
I was looking for something that would create blocks of time within the day, and that would be flexible enough to reorganize on the fly. Goalist is doing that beautifully, so I quickly adopted it.
It's also nice to see a lively team with lots of original ideas and responsive to user feedback.
I will be trying to share my thoughts on how to improve the program as I am actively using it. I know that there is no perfect and ideal approach, so I will also try to keep realistic.
Thanks again for this beautiful and helpful application and see you back in the forum!
Peter.
Hello, my name is Genevieve.
I am a stay at home mom to my 14-month-old son as well as a part-time student preparing to enter nursing school in beautiful western Montana, USA.
Between caring for my son, keeping up on the chores, and studying for my classes I have so many tasks and no two days are ever alike. I have been searching for an app that would help me keep on top of things and be flexible enough to adapt to the reality of life with a baby, and I think I finally found it in Goalist.
Hello Ana & Adam,
I just found out this program and if it can help me it will be a miracle indeed.
I always had problems with time-management even though I have tried almost anything.
Right now, I work from home and I have an overwhelming amount of things to do because I don't want to back off from anything that has a 'value' to me just because I don't have enough time for it.
So, the Life Value approach really appealed to me. The way it is set up, the wording really helps with clarification.
Now, I have it set up with respect to the values and thus goals I have for my life.
The problem is figuring out the details and this program seems to promise an interesting journey into matching ideas and practical solutions.
Thank you & see you at the forums
Hello Goalist team,
I am Nishan. I hail from God's Own Country -- Kerala -- in India. I prefer an organized and planned life where in I can fulfill the maximum of responsibilities and duties fallen on me.
I have been trying quite a number of todo and tasks apps in Android and recently came across Goalist. I have just downloaded it, but haven't started using it fully. I am just hoping that this is the tool that I have been looking for about 2 years in play store.
Great to know that there is an active forum for help and tips. Keep going.
Regards,
Nishan
Hi, my name is Ruth.
I am a wide, autism mom and college student majoring in Special education. I have a sweet bright 7 year old who is my buddy, playmate, and one of the big focuses of my life. I use Goallist to keep me on track and to make sure I am meeting my potential and caring for my family the best I can. This tool keeps me on track and helps me learn and grow. Wonderful tool,

Hi all! I'm Mimi.
I discovered Goalist when I decided to find an app to help me start some good habits. I downloaded various (to-do) apps and, to be honest, Goalist seemed a bit too complex and time-consuming, so I opted for a simpler one. But! I kept it installed because I liked the idea so much. Now I feel like I need the complexity of Goalist, as I realized the importance of goal setting and tracking, and also I tend to ignore some tasks since there is no actual schedule for them.
I am still a bit overwhelmed by the app, but I plan to put in extra effort and time now, in order to save more time in the future, and accomplish my goals in a more effective and faster manner.
Big THANK YOU to Ana and Adam!
All best,
Mimi
Hi everyone, I'm Bex.
I'm from the UK and have been using the Goalist app for over a week now - I'm also the one responsible for the review of the app on GizmoDot :p.
I've been looking for an app like this for ages but, nothing quite suited, so I always reverted to my notebook and pen. Having had a shuffle around of furniture, its not practical for my book to be next to me anymore so once again I went looking for an app. Think this was the second or third one I tried and I'm still using it daily
. Didn't quite understand it at first but, once I did, I left a review on the Play Store, where I got a reply saying thanks, which is what prompted me to write the review on my site, so thanks guys
.
I'm constantly changing the way I use Goalist so that it's more adaptable for my usage, ie I had set a no plan task for 4 hours but, I now insert 4 1 hour no plan slots and when a plan occurs I simply switch it out for the new task.
My plans still go down the pan at times as life is unpredictable but, it's easy to get back on track with Goalist, where as before I ended up writing down a list and then having to rewrite it in a new order, so this makes my planning precise but, also flexible which is great for me.

Hi Ana & Adam!
Everyone seems so productive that I feel a bit intimidated. @-) I'm Sharon in Texas USA. I'm an army brat born in Germany with relatives there. I found this app during a search for a calendar to sync with my Android calendar so I can keep track of appts even when I have to replace a defective phone. I'm a techno-geek & hard on phones. In addition to remembering things, I'm easily distracted, I have been working on creating good habits. Which would be my calm spot in my seemingly frenzied life. Goalist has helped me realize I need to spend more time nurturing relationships with family & friends. Also, I've realized I need to spend more time on play & mental awareness instead of going thru the motions of life essentials. I found I have a lot more time for accomplishing things. I am still trying to simplify the time I plan my schedule as well as creating goals. I found that I've been lacking in goals in the last few years and spinning my wheels. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by all the thought that goes into allocating a full day though. 8-}

Dear Ana and Adam,
This is Pascal from Belgium. I have been using Goalist for about a month now, and I love it
Congratulations! This app is really well-designed, and it is very unique in its concept. I have been using different apps to reach goals, boost productivity and change habits, but none of them was so effective and complete as Goalist.
Although I have only been using level 0 modules so far, it already is a very complete and smart solution.
Pascal
Hey Ana and Adam,
I'm Mike, an electrical engineer in the US (Texas), obsessed with time tracking and productivity. Some of my other interests include nutrition, and carving out gym time.
I had been looking for an app similar to this for a long time (and almost taught myself app development just to make one), specifically to use for my morning routine; am very glad to see like minded thinkers create one. Calendars are great for meetings, but this approach has significant advantages to be able to use every minute of the day.
Very impressed with the app implementation, and your approach on capturing feedback (and recognizing the importance of fresh eyes) as well as the modules idea and your personal interaction in the forum. Looking forward to seeing what you two will turn the app into!
Glad to have found Goalist,
-Mike
