Hi, Your post is starting to answer one of my questions : are goals "goals for this particular week", or "a goal I use to take care weekly" ? If "this particular week", wouldn't it make sense to have a "goal for Day", so one could set his job for today and thus, having them filtered in the todo view if wanted. (I propose that because, often, a task is don before the due-date, so due-date is not convenient for planning a day.
