Thank you so much!!!! This is extremely helpful! I see now that my main area of confusion was the relationship between short/long term goals and projects--your examples really help in this regard. Again--thank you!
obscurityknocks04	Posted Feb 03, 2009 in: "Official Ways" to use Goals in Toodledo Score: -1 obscurityknocks04 Posted: Feb 03, 2009 Score: -1 Thanks for the replies so far. They are helpful. I did read the helpful entries regarding GTD, and am familiar with the general outlines of that process (although I haven't read the book). I realize it's not always clean-cut, but I think some examples would help me here. For example--where would the following hypothetical projects/goals fit in to this set-up? 1. To buy a car (in the next 4 months). 2. Moving to another city in the next 8 months. 3. Writing a book to be published next year. 4. Having a Christmas card made, and sending it out to a large group of people. 5. Preparing for a final exam in U.S. History. All of these have lots of steps, but I'm not clear if they fall into "projects" or "goals"? Would a project=Folder, or do Goals fit inside of Folders (Areas of Responsibility). Within this, where does the task with multi-subtasks fit? Hope this isn't too detailed, I just realize that time can be lost trying to try and re-try different ways of organizing this. Thanks again to all.

Are the Short-Term goals supposed to be "projects" (i.e. multi-step taks)--(although, where do sub-tasks fit within this structure?) What are some good examples of the relationship between the three goal types, tasks, and projects? I realize you can do any system you want, but I feel like this is already pretty well thought-out, and I wouldn't mind trying the "official" method before patching something togehter myself. thanks in advance!
