|  |  | Changing Timeframes

Aspire lets you assign a rough timeframe to each item in the workspace. This timeframe is not the date when something is to be done, or how long it will take, but is a more general sense of how the item fits into your overall plans. The available timeframes are: Done, Late, Current, Soon, Sometime, Later, Much Later. To change an item's timeframe, first select the item. Then you can use the increase or decrease timeframe toolbar buttons or commands in the "Items" menu. The Left-Arrow and Right-Arrow keys also work. Each timeframe has a small icon associated with it, which will appear at the bottom right of the item. Note that each item's timeframe is independent from any other item. So while a goal may have a timeframe of "Much Later", it is not unreasonable to have a solution to an obstacle for that goal be "Soon" or "Done". Some goals can take many years to achieve, but some steps towards that goal will be accomplished in the short term.
