I’ve mentioned my weekly goal-planning system a few times before, in this newsletter and on the blog.

While I used a physical notepad for this weekly planning before, I recently made an iOS app that makes the process better and more convenient while keeping some of that pen-and-paper feel.

It’s called Foreweek, and it’s now available on the App Store.

The app closely resembles the original system, where we get a fresh notepad page every week to list the tiny goals that would make this week successful:

Once listed, we can triage the goals into must-do and should-do by tapping the symbol beside each goal:

An asterisk (*) for the goals we must complete this week, and a plus (+) for the ones that we aim to achieve in the week, but it’s okay if they roll over to the next one.

Unfinished goals from the current week are automatically moved to an Inbox at the end of the week, and we can choose to move them back to a new week when we are ready:

The Inbox is also where you capture and keep goals you plan to achieve in the future.

I do this whenever I have an idea that can be translated into a tiny goal for later.

As we complete goals over a few weeks, we can see how we’ve been doing and whether we need to scale up or down in the History screen:

Now, Foreweek isn’t a to-do app. However, it complements one.

We first visualise our weeks into tiny goals or objectives in Foreweek, and then break them into granular tasks in our favourite to-do app.

The app is available for iPhone in 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

The app costs $2.99 one-time (or local equivalent) for early adopters. I’ll bump the price as I add more elements, like widgets, in the next updates.

I can’t wait for you to try this app.
