Telling others about your goals and sharing them keeps them alive and builds a support network. Friends who know about your goal will help you to stay on track as you work towards your goals. They will goad you when you slack off and commend you when you are on track.

In addition you get accountable to your friends which brings out your best efforts. It’s harder to break an appointment with a friend at the gym than to cancel a visit by yourself.

Probably there are some friends who have the same or a similar goal. Sharing your goals and working together with others drastically increases your success rate.

You can now share your goals with your friends on Facebook. At the bottom of the “Details” tab in the goal editor of achievr you will find a small button which, when clicked, will post the description of the goal and your progress to your wall of your Facebook account.

The following images show you what will be posted to your wall on Facebook when you share

a) a new goal (0% completed)

b) change in progress in working towards your goal

c) achieved your goal

Share your goals, find goal buddies and work together towards your common goals.

The following video shows how you can set a goal and check its SMART criteria easily with achievr. After you have set your goals you can quickly review and reconsider your goals, visualize the positive changes, and track your progress on your way to success.

At achievr.biz we have deliberately omitted a registration process to create a new account for you. You do not have to enter a username, a password and an email address. There is also no confirmation process with receiving an email and clicking on a confirmation link.

Instead we decided to use your existing account at Google or Facebook. Other providers such as Yahoo!, Microsoft Live or using your OpenID will be available soon.

There are important reasons for this:

1. Many Internet users already have an account at at least one of these providers. If you do not have one, it is very easy to sign up for a free account. This is even possible during the sign in to achievr. Other web applications such as achievr can connect to these services and use the corresponding sign in process. In that way you only need one account to sign in to many web applications and do not have to create and maintain one individual account for every web service.
2. Another advantage is that if you have already signed in to your account with (e.g.) Google in your current browser session, Google will recognize this and you can sign in to achievr with only one click without typing your username and password again. As easy as could be.
3. A further important aspect is that this enables you to connect achievr with your other accounts. Future version of achievr could provide advanced features such as connecting achievr with your Google calendar, posting new goals or achievements to your wall at Facebook or finding people with similar goals.

The following short videos show you how easy it is to sign in to achievr.

The English beta version of achievr is available at achievr.biz.
