# Goal Planning for 2009

 Published by [Mike Desjardins](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/author/mike-desjardins) on Jan 19, 2009 11:32:22 AM

I’ve been researching online goal planning software over the past two years and so far the best product that I’ve come across that encompasses everything that I know,  have read and personally experienced about successful goal planning that ties values into goals and tasks, has great graphics, ease of use,  syncs with most popular calendars, and has iPhone integration is lifetick.com.

Every couple of days I get a reminder about a task that is due, how it’s connected to a goal, and why that goal is important to me.  When I login I see a “life” page that has a pie chart in the center showing my top five core values in proportion to how many goals I have for each.  On both sides of the pie chart are the goals list under each value.  Each of those goals can be clicked to show the tasks and their due dates.

I signed up for licktick about three weeks ago, paid my $20 USD, and loaded my 2009 goals into the software. So far I’m really impressed.
