Goalforit is a FREE, online Goal setting and tracking application. From your everyday “to-do” list, to your child’s chore list, Goalforit allows you to set your goals and manage them easily!

Goal For It was easy to sign up for and once you enter your basic data, you can start setting goals, creating charts, and more! Initially, I was on a mission to create a Chore Chart for Reece and Betsy, but once I was in the application, I was totally surprised at everything it had to offer!

You could choose from creating Chore Charts, Behavior Charts, To-Do List, and setting goals. And then, on your “home page” it lists all the charts you have created, a Goal Tracker, Lists of Goals, etc. It is like having your own little mini planner right in front of you!

So, I finally buckled down and started to create a Chore Chart for Reece. When creating a Chore Chart, the first thing the application does is offer you the option to create a chore chart for “kids” or “tweens & teens”. I like this because my kids are 9 & 11 and I liked the “tweens” option so that I could see Chores geared towards their age level.

Once you pick the age group, you are then asked to name it and pick the time frame of the chart (daily, weekly, monthly, none) and then you pick out a theme for the chart.

Since this is an online tool, I think colors, pictures, and “look” really have a lot to do with whether someone will use the application consistently.  I loved that Goal For It offered numerous categories (including “cute,” “Extreme Sports,” “Basic,” “Black and White,” “Flowers,” which helps personalize the Chore Chart.

Once you pick out the category (or theme), it is off to selecting what your actual chores will be! But the Chore Chart is not just limited to “chores”. You there are several Areas to choose “activities” from:

Health – Includes activities like “Drink enough water,” “Run,” “Eat some fruit”.

Traits – Includes activities like “Be patient,” “Think Positive,” “Be Focused”.

Fulfillment – Includes activities like “Family Time,” “Read,” Nurture faith”.

Household – Includes activities like “Take trash out,” “Clean house,” “Sweep Floors”.

Can’t find the “activity” you are looking for? Well that’s no problem! You can even  make a Custom activity!

*Activities vary depending if the “tween” or “kid” chore chart is selected.

My suggestion would be that when you make a Chore Chart for your child, you let them help you pick it out and design it!

Once you select an “activity” you can designate the day of the week (month, etc) the activity should be completed. You will also assign “points” to each activity. Why? Because there is a Reward System as well! You can use your points to buy rewards. These “rewards” are user defined. Some of mine included “Pick out Dinner for the night” and “10 Minute Back Massage by Dad or Mom”.

When you look at the Chore Chart, you then have the ability to start checking things off that have been completed. When you check them off, points are earned! When you earn enough points to buy a reward, you will “purchase” the reward and then an email will be sent indicating the reward.

This is all FREE!

This is an absolutely fantastic online goal setting application. The only thing I would change is that I could not find a way to link multiple users to one account. For example, if I want Reece to look at his Chore Chart, he has to log in using my login and password. I think it would be more beneficial to have one main user, with other users linked to it.  Otherwise, I think this Goal For It is an awesome product and will definitely continue to use it!
