actualNoteContentPart: # "Implement Goal Task" link adds visibility to the actions that implement your current goals
  The "Implement Goal Task" link is designed to gently steer long-term-minded achievers toward the tasks that matter most to them. 
  
  This type of link works hand-in-hand with the popular (and effective) planning strategy to create and maintain a "Monthly Plan" and/or a "Quarterly Plan" note. Cal Newport does a great job of summarizing the benefits of what he calls "[Multi-scale planning](https://www.asyncagile.org/blog/multi-scale-planning) ." The essential idea is that when you step back to consider your broader objectives, you will spend less time each day mired in uncertainty about whether your current tasks will be the highest ROI for your time.

  Viewing the created "Implement Goal" link
  
  
  When an "Implement Goal" link is created, we call the task that holds that link an "Implementation Task." It is an action that "implements" the big idea you identified in your Goal Task (the task you linked to). 
  
  Every day that you open a note that contains an Implementation Task, Amplenote will evaluate how much Task Score would have been assigned to the Goal Task, based on the Goal Task's attributes (Important, Urgent, etc). The Task Score from the Goal Task is then split evenly among all of the Implementation Tasks that link to it.
  
  **Example: Implement Goal Task**
  So, for example, say that you create a note called "Q1 Goals," which contains a task "Finish building the ark." Then, the rain really starts to pick up, and building the ark becomes your #1 most important goal of the quarter. You decide to apply the "Important," "Urgent," and "90+ minutes" attributes to your Goal Task (reminder: [hotkeys for setting task attributes](https://www.amplenote.com/help/keyboard_shortcuts_and_markdown_syntax_examples#Open%2Fclose_Task_Details_) ). Each of these designations adds to the Task Score that the Goal Task will generate & distribute. 
  
  After creating the "Implement Goal" link in your Implementation Task, it will receive its normal Task Score, **plus **extra points every day its note is opened, which it inherits from the Goal Task. 
  
  **More advanced example: Implement Goal Task**
  Sometimes there is a really hard task you are contemplating that, if completed, would advance two or three of your monthly goals. If you create links to all three Goal Tasks from your Implementation Task, then every day your Implementation Task is going to receive tons of new Task Score. It ensures that task is going to be top-of-mind any time you visit Tasks or Calendar Pane, since both sort by Task Score as their default. 
  
  You can always use the !reset Task Command to zero-out the Task Score of your Implementation Task if, say, you don't want to work on it today, but you also don't want to hide it for some reason. Unless you have a large number of other Important & Urgent tasks, it will only take 2-3 days until this special Implementation Task re-accumulates enough Task Score to start topping the list of tasks that Amplenote recommends working on. 
  
  
  | **Bottom line: **When you use **Implement Goal Task** links, you are creating a web of energy that channels your attention toward the tasks that implement the high-level goals that you deemed most valuable when you made your weekly, monthly or quarterly plan. |
