I used to have very similar system to what you described here. I used a formated PDF print-out to write down the short-terms goals at top, and listing all the tasks for it that I need to work on daily. One sheet a day, so I used a lot of those sheets. But the one drawback of this kind of system is that it's very hard to see your progress on your goals. I kept on working on tasks, but sometimes it would be really helpful and motivating if I could see the things I did would really contribute to the goal. That's when I decided to create a software to move the entire paper-based system to the computer, cause I am a software developer anyway. If you are interested, you can take at look at my system at http://www.goalsontrack.com. Sorry if this sounds like a sales pitch. It's been working great for me. It may not be for any one else, but there are lots of screenshots on the site, so at least you could get some ideas if anyone is interested in this type of system. Corbett,

The system of goals and tasks is built in, and furthermore you can easily customize everything. I already tried a lot of apps, but this one is by far the most usable (for my system). Corbett
