Goals Vs Areas

- This is a thing of absolute beauty!!! I've been filling it in today and I'm already kicking my own ass for how unproductive my life has been without this template. Kudos brother, worth every penny ❤️ - Quick question... I'm slightly confused between sub-areas and goals:

I've got an 'Area', let's say "💪🏼 My Business"

Underneath that, I have a project I'm working on called 'Product Launch 1' - At the moment, I've added "Product Launch 1" to 'sub-area' of "💪🏼 My Business" - and all associated tasks/modules etc are listed as Tasks within the Sub Area... So basically: "💪🏼 My Business" (Area) > "Product Launch 1" (Sub-Area) > Tasks (Tasks)....

Is this the generally accepted hierarchy of processing projects and workflows? If so, what's the need for "Goals" under the 'Add New' quick menu? I've just tried adding new Goal for "Product Launch 1", but it feels like it does VERY similar things to the Sub-Area option... Plus, I can access tasks, areas and sub-areas on my sidebar but not goals... Not really sure of the Goal item and what it's used for tbh.

Great product dude, REALLY happy with it 😌
