Griply’s Hierarchy
Connect your big picture to your daily life
Most productivity tools focus on one thing: tasks, habits, or goals. But they rarely show how those pieces fit together. This means you often juggle multiple apps and systems, but without a clear sense of progress.
Griply is designed to change that. It connects your long-term vision, big goals, projects, habits, and daily tasks in a single, flexible system - so you can manage your everyday to-dos and your biggest ambitions in one place.
Whether you want to build a new habit, plan your week, or work toward something big, Griply gives you the structure to do it your way.
The hierarchy
Layer | What it is | Why is this important? |
|---|---|---|
Life Areas | Broad categories that define what matters to you (e.g., Work & Career, Health, Family). | Use life areas to create a holistic view of your life and define goals, habits, and tasks with the big picture in mind. |
Vision | Your long-term direction or desired outcome for each life area. | Acts as your “North Star” and helps you choose meaningful goals. |
Goals | Big, measurable outcomes you want to achieve within a timeframe. | Turns your vision into actionable targets you can work toward. |
Subgoals | Smaller milestones within a goal. | Breaks big goals into manageable, motivating milestones. |
Projects | A group of related tasks, with no metric of its own. | Organize the work under a goal, or track standalone efforts and one-offs with no goal behind them. |
Tasks | Specific actions to get done, inside a goal, subgoal, or project, or on their own. | Ensures your daily work connects back to what matters. |
Habits | Recurring actions that build consistency toward your goals. | Creates steady progress without needing constant decision-making. |

Tips for getting the most out of Griply
Start small. One goal, one habit, a few tasks, that’s plenty. You can even just start with task management and add goals later.
Start fresh. If you’re switching from another tool, don’t import everything. Define the big picture first, and only bring in the tasks, goals, and projects that genuinely contribute.
Reflect regularly. Set a reminder to review your week and adjust your plan.
