Quick Pitch: Goal achievement platform that combines planning tools and an instant community of supporters.
Genius Idea: Even if you don't believe in making New Year's resolutions, the new year is a good time for people to assess their lives and contemplate new goals.
For most of us, setting a goal or making a resolution isn't that difficult -- it's finding a way to make those dreams manifest that can be tough. Studies have also shown that publicly sharing your goals increases the odds of success. That's the idea behind mySomeday. This goal achievement platform makes it easy to not only set a goal, but also to get support from the mySomeday community and split that ambition into more manageable chunks.
MySomeday also offers up tools to track goal progress, and if you find another user's Someday plan, you can choose to copy it (and maybe add some modifications) to add to your own goal sheet.
We really like that you can break goals into smaller steps using mySomeday. If something seems too big or too overwhelming, it is more likely to not get resolved or achieved. Actionable smaller steps, public accountability and community support are all import assets to accomplishing goals, and mySomeday is designed around all three concepts.
How do you plan on keeping your New Year's resolution? Do you have any online tools that you use for goal progress throughout the year? Let us know!
