Goals are mis-named. 'Goals' should really be called "Horizon" because their focus is 'when', that is, time Of course the one GTD
time that is missing is "Someday/Maybe". But this cant be added to
the list

Good point. I would also recommend renaming it, and many add "real" goals (not time horizons) as a separate function.

However, being able to enter a soft time horizon is very useful. I only struggle with the problem that it is not granular enough, and that there are other competing ways of defining a time horizon in MLO. Sometimes I don't know when to set such "soft" due dates, and when to set hard due dates. We also have the "star" which is frequently used to mean a time horizon of "today". Plus, we also have "urgency" which is another way of setting a time horizon. I feel "urgency" and what's currently named "goal" and "star" should be somehow combined into a single setting. Instead of numerical values from 0-200, it should have meaningful time interval values like the current "goal", but on a more granular logarithmic scale (something like "right now", today, 3 days, week, 2 weeks, month, quartal, year, 3 years, decade).

This single setting is not only easier to enter, it also makes tasks much easier to compare and sort regarding their urgency.

I have probably suggested something like that already.
