Goals

A goal is an outcome with an end date and one number that measures it, taken from a routine you already do.

A goal with its progress ring, pace, days with progress and chart

Setting a goal

Give it a name, why it matters to you, and start and end dates. Then choose what measures it:

A routine step: times done or the share of days it was done.
A metric: the latest reading, the total, the average, or how many times you recorded it.
A reflection: how many you wrote, or the share of days you wrote one.

Then set the target, such as an average of 7.5 hours of sleep.

Following a goal

A goal shows how far along it is, a line about pace (“On pace to finish”, or roughly where the current pace lands by the end date), the days this week with progress, and a chart of your progress against the planned pace. Pace is described, not graded.

Finishing or letting go

Mark as finished when you’re done. Set it aside if the goal no longer fits; it moves to Finished, marked as set aside, and nothing is deleted. Delete is in the goal’s edit screen.
