Turn a dream into a goal, and back

When you're ready, convert a dream into a goal and plan it. If a goal has to wait, turn it back into a dream and keep its tasks.

Dreams and goals move both ways. A dream becomes a goal when you're ready to plan it, and a goal can go back to being a dream when now isn't the time.

Turn a dream into a goal

  1. Open the dream. Go to Dreams and choose the dream.
  2. Convert it. Choose Convert to goal, then Convert.
  3. Fill in the goal. The goal form opens. Add how you'll measure it and a time frame, then save.
A dream open with Delete, Convert to goal and Save

The new goal counts toward your goals. On the Free plan you can have two at a time, so finish or set one aside first if you're at the limit.

Turn a goal back into a dream

  1. Open the goal. Go to Goals and choose the goal.
  2. Convert it. Choose More, then Convert to dream, and confirm.

The goal moves to Dreams. Its tasks are kept, and they come back if you make it a goal again.

You can't convert a shared goal or a completed goal into a dream.

On iPhone, open the dream and tap Convert to goal, then give the goal a due date. To go the other way, tap ••• on the goal, then Convert to dream.
