If nothing else, the iPad has produced entirely new methods of staying organized, completing projects and reaching goals. From Apple’s own Reminders app to thousands of other productivity apps by third-party developers, for many the iPad isn’t just about “usage models,” but about “personal organization models.”
Which leads us to Visionboard for iPad. A $1.99 download from the Apple iTunes App Store by developer Robb Research, Visionboard provides you with a graphical organization capability for what are seemingly any and all of your life’s goals.
Graphically, Visionboard is presented as a digital cork board, where you’re permitted to post “sticky note”-like reminders as well as more in-depth goal-trackers (depicted like postcards or photographs) that you can pin to the cork board, and tap to update and track your progress.
This was developed and is sold as a “lifestyle” app, but don’t let that stop you from using it for business. The same model and features that allow you to put up visual goal-trackers for weight loss or bank savings accounts can also be used to track progress toward a work project, sales goal or product development.
Beyond the graphic capability, Visionboard doesn’t provide much in the way of sophisticated note-writing or automated alerts or reminders - the kind of which you’d get from other apps. But for those among us who prefer to organize their goals visually, this is a nice app to have on your iPad to do just that.
