Achieve Your Goals with To-Do Lists

Many people set goals but struggle to follow through. A clear to-do system bridges that gap by turning big goals into small, repeatable actions. TimeAttract helps you plan weekly execution, track completion as scores, and visualize growth.

1) Traditional To-Do Methods (What works)

Break it down

Split a big goal into small tasks you can finish in one sitting. Example: instead of "Get fit," use "20-minute walk."

Set frequency

Decide how many times per week you'll execute. Example: "Walk 3× per week (Mon/Wed/Fri)."

Prioritize

Mark the top 1–3 tasks that truly move your goal forward. Do them first to keep momentum.

Time-bound

Add a schedule or deadline. Repeating tasks (daily/weekly) work great for building habits.

Review

Check in daily or weekly: what worked, what didn't, what to adjust next.

2) Practical Example: Step-by-Step Weight Loss Goal

Here's how you could set up a stepwise plan like "Lose Weight" in TimeAttract. Each stage builds on the previous one with increasing distance and consistent weekly frequency:

Step

1

2

3

Quick Start
  1. Create a goal (e.g., "Lose Weight")
  2. Add Stage 1 to-do: "Run 2 km"
  3. Set frequency: 3× per week
  4. After a month, move to Stage 2 and update your to-do
  5. Keep progressing → watch your score and streak grow

Tip: End your day with a quick gratitude note—it improves motivation and clarity.

👉 Adjust months to your actual start date. If a step spans multiple months, increase --end (e.g., --start:1;--end:2;). Each completion earns points so you can see month-to-month consistency on calendars and charts.
