Daily/Monthly/Quaterly Goal Setting tool.
I find Goal Setting as a great tool to plan your year, would you be building something for setting objective/goals for the year, Daily/Monthly/Quaterly goals?

I was thinking of something similar to a daily/weekly/monthly goal tool. Something similar to Any do's "Moment" feature. Basically I suggest on a set interval (say first time you login after 9am) the app takes the user through the process of:
1.) Review weekly goals that are uncompleted and choose if any of them are going to be tasks due today (i.e. move from goal to task).
2.) Review "Pending" items or items in the parking lot and allow the user to move any of those to a task due today as well.
I know many people, myself included, have a massive list of "pending items" so it would have to be a user setting if the app goes through just one or both of the items above.
I know I would appreciate being reminded to take time to plan my day based on my weekly (big rocks) goals and I like to check 1-2 things of my "massive pending list" daily to hopefully get it under control one day.
Thanks,
ADDITION: I see that you guys use some crazy JSON type URL requests. It would be nice to be able to link to certain things (specifically, day/quadrant view) so I have it always open in the bottom right corner of my screen. With an easy link I can write a Cron to open today's list every morning when I log in.
Yes the routing is not the cleanest but it makes our code a lot simpler :)
I am thinking of introducing a "Review" module that will allow you to go through each role, see uncompleted goals, and uncompleted tasks (from week and parking lot) and add more goals.
I really like the idea of being able to review each role and think through the goals for that role. What about using GTD's elevation model to start big and drill down so that you can view the highest elevation or get into the micro tasks on any one goal?
Also want to second the helpfulness of being able to assign goals to a future week, pinning them, or setting them to repeat and tracking progress over time without calling it procrastinating.

Do you know of any todo app that does this well? I'd like to see how they did it.

Hello Aymeric,
The best todo app that does this, for me, is FacileThings. You can also take a look at My Life Organized

I like how FacileThings tries to coach the users into a certain methodology rather than trying to be a todo app for everyone. This is something I'd like to do more with weekplan. Thanks Alexandre.
My Life Organized is way too "busy" for my liking.

Hello Aymeric,
Weekplan could really benefit from something like FacileThings, and the Perspectives tab is a great elevation model
Aymeric, I agree My Life Organized is really busy and FacileThings is a little too business-like for personal goals and dreams. But FacileThings does have some nice features that work well for implementing GTD on different levels.
I want to make sure to give you positive feedback as well on things I hope you will keep. I love the white space with color accents that you are using. To add to that, the reason I really love weekplan.net is the basis in 7 Habits but opening it up to make it compatible with GTD. The piece I am trying to figure out how to add for myself within the current structure has to do with recurring task lists that might happen on a weekly basis or long-term projects. I'd be interested in a tutorial on how you do this within weekplan.

We are looking at allowing subtasks in repeating tasks, that will solve your use case.
I would like a functionality like the outliner, but in the vision part. Especially something that allows to create a yearly / quarterly / monthly vision.
The 7 habits outlook extension was very good for that. I would use it if it would be online and integrated with other tools.
I am thinking of removing the envision module and replace it fully with Outline, prepopulated with the same section as Envision. What do you think?
