Goal Management

#Creating Goals

#The Basics

1. Click "Start New Goal" from your dashboard
2. Enter a Title - be specific
3. Add a Description (optional but recommended)
4. Click "Start Goal"

Your goal is now active and ready to track!

#Goal Title Guidelines

Good Titles:

• "Practice Spanish for 15 minutes daily"
• "Do 20 push-ups"
• "Write 500 words"
• "Meditate for 10 minutes"

Poor Titles:

• "Get better" (too vague)
• "Exercise" (not specific enough)
• "Learn stuff" (what stuff?)

The more specific, the better. Future you will thank you.

#Descriptions

Use the description to:

• Explain what success looks like
• Note why this matters to you
• Define specific parameters
• Add motivational reminders

Example:

Title: Practice Guitar Scales
Description: 20 minutes of focused practice on major and
minor scales. Goal is to play them smoothly at 120 BPM
by day 100. This matters because I want to join a band
next year.

#Editing Goals

Need to adjust your goal? You can edit:

• Title
• Description

Note: You cannot edit the current progress count. Progress is sacred - it represents actual work completed.

#When to Edit

Good reasons to edit:

• Clarify vague language
• Add more context to description
• Fix typos

Bad reasons to edit:

• Making goal easier because it's hard
• Changing goal completely mid-journey
• Adjusting to avoid accountability

If your goal needs significant changes, consider completing the current one and starting a new one.

#Archiving vs. Deleting

#Completed Goals

When you reach 100/100, your goal is automatically marked as Completed and moved to your completed goals archive.

You can still:

• View complete history
• Export data (Pro/Enterprise)
• Reference for future goals

#Abandoning Goals

Sometimes you need to stop a goal before 100. That's okay! Here's how to handle it:

Option 1: Keep It Leave it as-is in your active goals. Maybe you'll come back to it.

Option 2: Delete It If you're sure you won't continue, delete it. Your other goals deserve your focus.

No Shame: Adjusting goals is part of the process. Better to focus on goals you'll actually complete than keep dead goals around.

#Organizing Multiple Goals

Working on multiple goals? Here's how to stay organized:

#Use Sorting

Sort your goals dashboard by:

Recent: See what you've worked on lately

• Great for daily review
• Catch goals you've neglected

Progress: Focus on completion

• Prioritize goals close to finishing
• Get quick wins

Title: Alphabetical organization

• Find specific goals quickly
• Clean, organized view

#Priority System

Since we don't have a built-in priority feature (yet!), use title prefixes:

🔥 Learn Python - High priority
⭐ Morning Journaling - Medium priority
📚 Read 30 Pages - Low priority

Simple but effective!

#Focus on One at a Time

Controversial advice: Despite allowing multiple goals, we recommend focusing on ONE goal at a time until you hit 30+ days.

Why?

• Builds discipline muscle
• Proves you can follow through
• Better results than spreading yourself thin

Once you've proven you can do one goal for 30+ days, add another.

#Best Practices

#Start Small

One focused goal beats three half-hearted ones.

#Be Specific

"Practice coding" is vague. "Complete one LeetCode problem" is specific.

#Make It Measurable

You should be able to answer "Did I do it today?" with a clear yes or no.

#Choose Actions, Not Outcomes

• ❌ "Lose 20 pounds" (outcome)
• ✅ "Walk 10,000 steps daily" (action)

Actions are under your control. Outcomes aren't always.

#Review Weekly

Every Sunday, review your goals:

• Which need more attention?
• Which are on track?
• Any need to be adjusted or archived?

#Troubleshooting

#"I have too many goals"

If you're overwhelmed:

1. Archive/delete goals you're not actively working on
2. Focus on your top 1-3 goals
3. Add others back later

Quality > Quantity, always.

#"I keep starting but not finishing"

This is common. Try:

• Pick ONE goal only
• Make it smaller/easier
• Set a daily reminder
• Find an accountability partner

The problem isn't usually the goal. It's trying to do too much at once.

#"My goal limit feels restrictive"

Good! Limits force prioritization. What REALLY matters?

If you consistently max out your goal limit and finish them, you're ready for an upgrade.
