Goals
Goals are for things that take longer than one day: a project, a habit or something you want to build.
Goals are optional. You do not need one to get started. Add a goal when you want to give your actions a direction.
What is a goal?
A goal is neither a todo nor a routine.
A todo is completed and disappears. A routine happens daily or weekly. A goal sits between them: it has a direction, needs several steps and takes time.
For example:
- “I want to go to bed regularly again”
- “I want to finish this project”
- “I want to keep my home reasonably stable”
These are goals—not daily tasks, but not vague wishes either.
How do I create a goal?
Give the goal a concrete, honest name. Instead of “Live more healthily,” use “Go for a walk every day, even if it is short.”
Then add steps: the concrete things that move you towards the goal. For example:
- Choose a regular time for the walk
- Find a route that is genuinely short
- Try it for one week and notice what does not work
Steps make the goal tangible. You do not need to know how everything will work. Only the next step matters.
How many goals?
At the beginning, choose one goal—genuinely only one.
Too many active goals at the same time often means that none of them moves forward. Try one that matters most right now.
Connect a goal to a routine
You can link a goal with a routine. This makes it visible that the routine is not only a habit; it serves a purpose.
For example, connect the goal “Sleep better” with the routine “Wind down in the evening.”
If a goal is not progressing
That happens. Almost every goal gets stuck at some point.
Often the goal is too large or too vague. Make the next step small enough to complete in five minutes—genuinely small.
If the goal no longer fits, pause or delete it. You do not owe it anything.
Goals are not obligations
The app does not pressure you. It shows what you wrote down, but it does not judge whether you are moving quickly enough.
Progress happens at your pace. Some goals take weeks, others take months. That is normal.
