Goals
How goals work in Make My Day, and how linking tasks to them keeps your day pointed at what matters.
Goals are what make a day add up to something. In Make My Day they’re deliberately simple, so they stay useful instead of becoming another thing to manage.
What a goal is
A goal is just a short title, an optional description, and a colour. That’s on purpose. You decide what it means:
- a result you want this month or this quarter
- a long-term ambition that will take years
- a way of living — healthier, calmer, more present
There’s no fixed hierarchy and nothing to configure. Frame your goals however fits your life.

Linking tasks and events to goals
The point of a goal is to connect it to your actual day. Link any task or event to one or more goals, and its goal colour appears alongside it on the timeline. Now you can see which parts of the day serve something you care about — and which don’t.

Focusing on one goal
Select a goal to bring its work forward: the day collapses to the items linked to it, so you can see everything that moves that goal and nothing else. Clear the selection to see the full day again.
This is a gentle nudge, never a rule. Make My Day won’t scold you for a goal you haven’t touched — it simply makes it easy to check in, and to choose the next task that matters.
A quiet weekly habit
Once a week, glance over your goals and the work you linked to them. It takes a minute and it’s the difference between a busy week and a week that counted.
