Why Setting Goals Matters

Want to make real progress instead of just checking off random tasks? Goals help you focus on what truly moves the needle.

Following the 80-20 rule (or Pareto Principle), the idea is simple:

• 20% of your tasks contribute to 80% of your progress

• Your 2-3 daily Goals are the high-impact tasks that make the biggest difference

By setting Goals in Akiflow, you can:

• Prioritize what matters most

• Stay focused and avoid distractions

• Keep your most important tasks visible in your schedule

How to set Goals in Akiflow

• Shortcut: Hit the shortcut H to set a task as your priority Goal.

• Task pop-up: You can also click on a task and click the priority icon

• Command bar: open the Command Bar and click on Make Goal.

How do I see my goals?

Goals work just like regular tasks in Akiflow, but you can easily spot them thanks to their colored border. You can assign any time frame to a goal such as a specific date, date and time, week, or month.

Create Weekly and Monthly Goals

While during your Weekly Rituals, Akiflow will prompt you to add your Goals for the week.

These are tasks with the ‘Goal’ priority, and they can both stay in your Week time frame or can be planned for a specific day (the Goals’ dates are also directly visible when you’re doing your Rituals, ensuring you stay on top of your goals).

You can always review your weekly and monthly tasks on the Upcoming Page.
