Glad to see something like this. As formulated, I'm not sure how it's better than a calendar. I still need to be in a browser to enter a goal, so entry doesn't seem any easier. The reminders are random, but I'm not sure how random is any better than picking a random date for the calendar item.

While I walk to work I'm thinking about how I could be better at communicating with myself "fourth-dimensionally" (think Back to the Future Part 3). It takes 25 minutes, so I have plenty of time to come up with all sorts of goals for the day. It's these goals that I want to get reminded of when I can do something about them. What's the easiest way to capture a thought while on the move (walking to work, hiking, driving your car), and have that thought get communicated back to you when it would be most useful as motivation?

Found a typo: "Who will call me for the weekly phone review? If you sign up for the Buddha plan, Mr. Goal will call you every week to go over your goals with you. What not a better way to keep you on top of your goals."

Update from my end: spent some time over the past few weekends to simplify and polishing Mr. Goal. I'm hoping to get a bit of feedback on what you like / don't like about it. Thanks and enjoy!

Tried to sign up; got an error message, viz.:

duplicate key value violates unique constraint "auth_user_username_key"

I have the full django error message saved if you want to see it. (Also, you have DEBUG = TRUE, fyi, so I'm seeing some pretty detailed info).

What kind of system do you use to send the sms messages?
