Part of the problem with sticking to your goals is keeping track of which goals you have set for yourself and if you’ve actually accomplished them throughout the day, week, or month. Excel is a great program, but if you’re on vacation, your goals may slip. Writing down on paper is also good practice, if you are over the age of 80. Who uses a pen and a pad any more?

In the new age of don’t save anything locally, you can now take your goals to the net and have someone else store, track, and make pretty. Like your email, or those office files that can now go Office Live you can put your goals on the net and access them from anywhere.

JoesGoals.com is an easy, very easy to use program that allows a user to track his or her goals from anywhere in the world. The interface has the look, sans white space, of Google, and also it’s simplicity. All you need to do is sign-up and you can start adding goals that are automatically saved and tracked. Presto!

Another great thing, aside from its simplicity is that Joe’s Goals allows you to share your goals and your progress with other people. This way you can become accountable for our goals and have other people cheer you on as you work towards an end.

You can also track negative goals, those things that prevent your from getting to where you want to go. Things like eating sweets, watching TV, sleeping in. You just tell the program if it’s positive or negative and then click. If you click too much for a day just re-click the same circle and you’re done.

I have attached a screenshot of my goals to show you how simple it looks.
