Goalbot is a goal achievement toolkit - a set of tools that will assist you in accomplishing your goals and sharing your knowledge and experiences. Goalbot is powered by the community, so every user is an integral part of Goalbot.
Goalbot will help you to:
Goalbot was designed based on principles of goal achievement derived from psychology and cognitive science. Research has shown that implementing these principles leads to an increased likelihood of goal accomplishment.
The following are some examples of the goal achievement principles upon which Goalbot is based:
| Principle | How Goalbot Makes It Work For You |
|---|---|
| Spend time researching and thinking about your goals. When you're prepared, you're far more likely to overcome the difficulties you will encounter. | Goalbot gathers together useful information and resources in one place - the Learn section. Find out more about the Learn section |
| Make your goals as specific as possible and your plan as actionable as possible. This can be challenging since the big goals we have in mind are often, by their nature, general, but getting detailed will help you track your progress more accurately - a critical aspect of accomplishing your goals. Having a list of concrete steps will also help you to take action and avoid "analysis paralysis." It's important to be prepared, but spending all of your time planning won't get you any closer to achieving your goals. |
The Action Plan in Goalbot's Plan section helps you to break your goals down into specific, concrete steps. Find out more about the Plan section |
| Involve other people in your plans. Getting your friends and family involved will help you to stay motivated and moving forward. | Goalbot makes it easy to keep people up to date on your progress in the Connect Sharing section. Find out more about the Connect section |
| Don't be afraid to ask for help! There are other people who have been stuck in the same spot as you, people who would be glad to help you out. | Goalbot's Connect Questions section provides a place for members of the community to share their knowledge and their experience. Find out more about the Connect section |
| Become a part of a new community. Your existing network can be an important source of motivation, but there are unique benefits to interacting with new communities. Groups focused around your goals can provide perspectives and resources that you don't currently have access to. | Goalbot's Connect Groups section lets you read posts and interact with other people interested in your goals, and find local meetups.
