Every time I spend much time creating goal>project>task hierarchies I don’t get much value out of it compared to the time it takes to create the hierarchies and maintain them. However, the utility of doing much work on it is debatable. In fact, some people say that every task we list we should be able to trace back to a goal, and tasks that are not related to our goals should not even be in our task list. So we should be able to trace many tasks back to a project and then to a goal. When you start planning your goals, projects, and tasks, it won’t take you long to realize that there is a natural hierarchy that goes something like this: From our goals we create projects and from our projects we create tasks. Since this material is still useful, we wanted to make it available online.Īre Hierarchies of Goals and Tasks Useful?

This article was extracted from my Outlook book Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook (3rd Edition).
