Finally Found a Terrific Vision-Values-Roles-Goals Tool!

[qos]

I’ve been wishing for months that I could somehow find or create an elegant, vivid way to express the ways my spiritual path and vocation, my career aspirations (which include my current graduate school program), my health and fitness endeavors, my domestic life, my creativity, and my role as mother in one place — and I’d pretty much given up. Everything intertwines at so many levels, it seemed impossible to find a single tool that could bring it all together.

But the other day I stumbled upon an iPad app called “Inspire!” It seems to be built on the Franklin Covey process of identifying values, roles, and goals, and then putting them all together. It has beautiful built-in images, but also the ability to add your own. Ditto motivational quotes, which can be categorized by values. To my surprise, the streaming desktop/quote feature includes the photos I’ve added to illustrate my roles and values, along with the text I entered to express them. It weaves everything together in a gorgeous package that even includes the option of music!

All this for $4.99.

I’m delighted with it — and as soon as I get this project from hell completed, I’m going to sit down and do some focused work with it.

Just a note about the iPad - a keyboard can be really handy. Kensington and Targus make iPad cases with built-in keyboards, which is arguably most convenient, but you can prop the tablet up with the stand in the standard case and use any bluetooth keyboard.
