Monthly objectives and planning
James Mount
I would love monthly goals! I have only just started using Sunsama, and I'm liking the product. But I have roughly 1 day per week to work on my personal business ventures. Setting weekly goals don't always work for me. However, I have 3 monthly goals I would like to achieve and a priority on them. Would be awesome to see them and assigns tasks to ensure I'm staying focussed on the right things. And I would echo what people have said, not just monthly objectives but some flexibility. I want to achieve this objective by this date.

You can use something similar to the GTD's philosophy:
- 50,000+ ft: Life Purpose & Principles. Why do you exist? Your fundamental life purpose and principles.
- 40,000 ft: Long-term Vision. Where do you want to be in 3 to 5 years (career, family, financial)?
- 30,000 ft: Goals & Objectives. What do you want to achieve in the next 1 to 2 years?
- 20,000 ft: Areas of Focus & Accountability. Responsibilities you maintain (e.g., health, finances, job roles).
- 10,000 ft: Current Projects. Multi-task goals requiring completion within a year.
- Runway: Next Actions. Specific, immediate tasks needed (emails, calls, errands).

This is so important! I'm currently keeping an open task that keeps rolling. I'd love a monthly objective I can link to a cloud file or a cloud folder (ie a live working docs I can share with my team) rather than upload an attachment. So all my monthly tasks are in one spot.

This is so so important for me in a research field. My tasks can take years to complete

Pleae week, month, quarter and year (this year, next year, ...)

Agree with a lot of the comments on here. Not strictly monthly, but custom time-frames (start/end dates) would make this great. I'd love to define 12-week objectives the way i do in my Phoenix Journal.

Many other comments mention 'not just monthly, but also quarterly, annual, etc.' Supporting multiple levels of hierarchy could be useful, but a different angle is simply allowing some flexibility/configurability in the next level above weekly, so one could do monthly, quarterly, 6 week cycles, 12 week year, the specific start and end of academic terms, etc.

This and similar suggestion are exactly what I came here to suggest. I've been using this app 2 days and the lack of monthly, quarterly, and annual objectives is a major shortcoming of this otherwise incredibly functional and intuitive app. What I really like about this app is that it does exactly what I need it to do, in a thoughtful, straightforward, and intuitive manner (as opposed to trying to do so many other things that it becomes bloated with "bells and whistles" that ultimately convolute its primary functionality (this has been my experience with asana).
However, the lack of top level goal setting unduly limits its usefulness to only extremely short term productivity planning - which fo me (as a solopreneur) might end up being the difference between subscribing and looking elsewhere.

I would love this, weekly is just too granular for the way I work & plan
