9x9 Goal Grid [Multitaskers Tool]

Most tools let you add tasks forever. This one doesn’t. One main goal. Eight subgoals. Eight actions each. Runs entirely in the browser. No accounts. Exportable. This is a client-only app. No backend. No auth. The grid is intentionally finite. You get 64 action slots. That constraint is the point. Built it because infinite lists made prioritization worse. Import/Export works seamlessly. Looking for feedback from people who feel stuck planning big goals. Happy to answer technical or design questions.

What it does

Most productivity tools reward accumulation. This one enforces limits. 9x9Goals is a browser-only implementation of the Harada Method. You plan using a fixed grid: One main goal Eight supporting subgoals Eight concrete actions per subgoal That’s the entire canvas. You can’t add more. No accounts. No databases. No tracking. Your plan lives in local storage and can be exported as an image or JSON. Built for people who want structure without subscriptions, dashboards, or infinite lists.

The Harada Method 9×9 grid planner. Simple, visual, and brutally effective. No accounts. Turn one goal into 81 clear actions.

    I made a better interface for Google Tasks and I can't go back2011 · gtasker.com · ▲122

    I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

    I built a tool for repeatable checklists2024 · steplist.app · ▲117

    For a long time (after devouring Atul Gawande’s The Checklist Manifesto), I've noticed a gap in the productivity tool market—most tools don't cater well to repeatable checklists. Task managers handle one-off tasks effectively, but falter with routines. On the other hand, project management software often feels overly complex. What I wanted was in the Goldilocks Zone between Todoist and Jira. For my own personal use, I created StepList. I've used it to assist and track workouts, my daily workday, software deployment and setup, household management, and more. Over the last year I've prepared…

    I built HaradaPlan to help people turn big goals into actionable plans using the Harada Method – a Japanese goal-setting framework that breaks one main goal into 8 key areas and 64 specific tasks. The app features: • AI-powered plan generation (just describe your goal, AI fills in the 64 cells) • Interactive grid editor with auto-save • AI coach to help refine your plan • Community sharing with voting/moderation • Shohei Ohtani's actual draft plan as a template (he used this method to become an MLB superstar) Would love feedback on: - The AI prompt quality (does it generate useful…

    Hi HN, I’m the founder of Zesfy, a productivity app that I’ve been developing over the past few years. It’s designed to seamlessly integrate your tasks with your calendar, allowing you to transform your to-do lists into actionable events in just seconds.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
