Your energy flows where your focus goes.  This is why we created the success map.  Traditionally, when we want to accomplish something we start our with a goal in mind.  Then we create  a plan and try to stick to it to reach our goal.  There are some good habits we need to acquire, and some bad ones we need to drop.  All this is accomplished using the success map.

DashPoint helps you stay focused and on point.  In this section we will walk you through how you can easily reach your goals using our simple easy to use approach.  There are many MANY tools out there in the market. Dashpoint will help you reach your goals quicker than all of them simply because you can get started today, for free, and will be forever, with your help.

In order to determine where you are going, you first need to know where you stand.  This is why we created 5 separate dashboards for you to visualize where you stand with respect to your desired outcome.  These are:

• Today
• Tasks
• Goals
• Plans
• Habits

By entering any one of these dashboards, you'll quickly get a glance of where you are, and what you need to do next to work towards reaching your goals.

In this section all the authorized users can view and manage goals they created or goals assigned to them by an administrator.

This section displays the goals you created yourself on the FE or those assigned for you by an administrator.

This section is created to help you leave off the annoying, unhealthy or any other negative habit you have or to help you to get into the positive and useful habit you want to pick up. This is not always an easy process, so the Personal Goals Manager component can help you to monitor and manage it. The habits section can be useful for succeeding with your goals.

To open Habits section and see the list of all existing habits, go to Habits > All Habits:

Actions

To succeed with your habit, you need to either carry out some particular action (for a positive habit) or to refrain from it (for a negative habit). Every time you record your progress, the number of checks is counted.   Note: If you fail to do the action when needed, the number of previously completed checks will be cleared and you need to start working on your goal from the very beginning.   To record the progress on every habit, you need to create actions for the days when you planned such actions. That can be done in 2 ways: ► On the needed day, in the habit list, simply click Yes or No next to the Have you done it today option. ► Open the habit history, click New action, and then complete the action creation form: • Habit - from the drop-down list, select the habit to assign this action to. • Have you done it today - from the drop-down list, select whether you did this planned action on the selected date. • Date - set the date when you performed the action; use the Calendar () icon to select the date. Time need to be typed in manually in the hh:mm format divided from the date with one space OR it will be automatically set as 00:00.
