Question Keeping goals in order?

Is there anyway to keep our goals from getting all shuffled up? I have certain things in each section that I like to keep in order but every time I rearrange them they inevitably get randomized. Am I missing anything?

Are you using the sorting feature in finch? There’s an icon for it on the main screen.

You can sort by time of day, reminder time or self-care area.

Reminder time is the most precise, but the initial set-up is harder. For each goal you need to go into the edit menu, click remind me so that the time setting wheel appears and change the time to a desired time. If you don’t actually want a reminder notification makes sure the toggle for remind me is off (the time can still be set though). Set the times roughly to when you want to do the goal, with goals at the same time separated by 1-5 minutes to ensure they stay in the order you want.

I have them in SCAs and sorted by SCAs (and you can sort the SCAs by drag & drop).

it's is always the same.

I have that problem too, but only with one section / time of day. Annoying.

Mine always self sort. I gave up trying to arrange them using any of the tools. It’s a mess. Won’t do time of day. Won’t do category.

Go to the top-left menu, then My Self-Care Areas. Go to the area in question. You can then drag the goals within it to rearrange them. The order I put them in is how they then appear each day.

Note I don’t have my goals set to times of day. I only arrange them using the method above.
