Aspire Help

  Aspire Icon   Overview
 

Aspire is a Mac OS X Leopard application to help you visually brainstorm, prioritize, review, refine, track and improve your life goals and long-term plans.

Aspire's visual workspace helps you create and see the "big picture" that encompasses your life goals. It also helps you see what it will take for you to achieve those goals. The Aspire workspace contains three kinds of items:

  1. Goals. These are the big things in your life you'd like to accomplish.
  2. Obstacles. These are what stand between you and achieving your goals.
  3. Solutions. These are strategies that will help you overcome the obstacles.
Each of these items also has an importance, which is represented by the size of the item on the screen, with more important items taking up more space. It makes it easy to see which items are most important, so you'll know to devote more effort and attention to them.

Each item can also be assigned a timeframe, indicating in general terms when you think would be the appropriate time that you should be addressing the item. Should you be working on it now, soon, not for many years yet, or have you already procrastinated?

You can also attach notes to each item, so that you have a single place to find all the tidbits of information about the item that you collect over time.
