Our online activity is desultory because we are constantly paying attention to everything except our own GOAL.

Hours spent online make folks stupider. They should become smarter instead, they should pursue their own GOAL and then set another one, and another one, and another one...

You need a way to focus on your GOAL because that's how the good things in life actually happen, you earn them by focusing on your GOAL until it's complete, then setting another one, right?

Even just DEFINING your GOAL is a great first step.

I want to see a list of my GOALS every morning the same way folks want to see their email every morning.

• Your GOAL is a future achievement and that just feels good.
• It's intelligence to pursue your GOALs in a persistent way.
• A question must serve a GOAL to be valuable.
• A space without a GOAL is desultory.
• There is no huge website out there that helps you set your GOAL. All the "blogging" sites are about "communication" and not "personal productivity". Even Evernote doesn't talk about "achieving your goals".
• The last time it was GOALS and that was asking too much. Just one goal per space.
• A metaspace that lists your GOALs is immediately useful.
• It's easy to come up with a new GOAL while formulating that into question-grammar is harder.
• I will probably come BACK to my older GOALs and get something out of it.
• A real GOAL is inherently sticky. On the other hand a QUESTION is like, "ok, answered that, let's move on."
• If you associate a website with actually achieving a GOAL you will love that website.
• Obviously a GOAL is generally-private, can-be-collaborative-secret, can-be-public.
• An emergent GOAL ontology sounds like a great thing to spawn for humanity.

Create a GOAL in the morning, use that space to accomplish the GOAL all day, update the GOAL in the evening and wake up and look at the GOAL again tomorrow morning.

Get folks to set their GOAL and reach it with METANOTES.

Only HUMANS can actually define their own GOAL while Robots are Programmed towards "goals" set by their Coders.
