Well, the list doesn’t really get used much - only in the list widget, or if you use the web interface. For me, at least, I have individual widgets for each goal on my phone homescreen, so I’m not even really aware of the list or what’s on it. The only time it would come up is if I had the list widget, but it isn’t really useful with all that extraneous stuff cluttering it ☹ I wish there were an option to disable it or at least move it to the bottom so “redesign the whole system” isn’t on top of “do this in the next hour.” It definitely needs to be done but it’s a lengthy project. The goals that are still there are all email goals. I had set up some scripts to track the number of total emails in various different inboxes, trying to get them to zero. But some of the scripts were running on old computers or are no longer active, so I’d have to go through, figure out which are working or not, redo the scripts, and so on.
