goals — Goals, todos, and intentions

I track my goals, todos, objectives, and intentions as part of my life context. These represent what I want to accomplish, what I'm working toward, and what matters to me.

Types

• goal / intention — High-level aspirations and directions I want to move in
• todo — Concrete tasks I want to complete
• objective — Measurable outcomes I'm working toward

Managing goals via mem

mem add --type goal "learn to play piano" mem add --type todo "reply to Sarah's email" mem add --type objective "read 2 books this month" mem add --type intention "be more patient in conversations" mem list # see all memories including goals/todos mem edit # update a goal mem forget # remove a completed todo or outdated goal

Current goals and todos

#| eval: true
#| stderr: false
