Goal and habit tools in the app
Goals covers planning and change: goal and task trackers, a goal library, planning tools such as quarterly planning, a time audit and a vision board, and reading on habits, motivation, identity and willpower.
The tools are free to use today and need a free account. “Open in the app” asks you to sign in or create one first.
SOS is an educational tool. It is not a doctor, therapist, financial adviser, lawyer or crisis service. Use it to learn and to keep track of your own life, and check anything important with a qualified person. Read the terms.
