Goals
Goals are first-class objects in BlinkLife — not tasks, not notes. They represent outcomes you’re working toward, organised under Life Areas, and tracked by your companion over time.
Life Areas
Every goal belongs to a Life Area — a high-level domain like Health, Career, Relationships, Finance, or Learning. Life Areas give your companion a map of what matters to you, so it can surface relevant context and track progress across all your goals in that area.
Set up your Life Areas in Settings → Life Areas or let your companion create them during onboarding.
Creating a goal
Open Goals from the sidebar (under Tasks & Projects) and tap +. Give the goal a title and link it to a Life Area.
Or tell your companion in Chat:
“I want to run a half marathon by October” “Set a goal to read 24 books this year”
Your companion creates the goal and may ask a few clarifying questions to understand what success looks like.
Goal fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | What you want to achieve |
| Life Area | Which area of life this falls under |
| Target date | Optional deadline |
| Description | More context on what success looks like |
How your companion tracks goals
Your companion references your goals in:
- Daily briefing — progress updates on active goals
- Weekly summary — a rollup of goal progress over the past week
- Conversations — when you discuss relevant topics, your companion connects them to your goals
You don’t need to manually update progress. Your companion infers it from conversations, tasks you complete, and notes you capture.
Updating or completing a goal
Tell your companion when something significant happens:
“I finished the half marathon” “I’ve read 12 books so far this year”
Or mark a goal complete directly from the Goals page.
Goals vs Tasks
| Goals | Tasks | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An outcome to achieve | An action to complete |
| Due date | Optional target | Specific date |
| Progress | Tracked over time | Done / not done |
| Lives in | Goals page | Tasks & Projects |
Tasks can (and should) be linked to goals — completing tasks is often how goals get done.
