🎓 Goal Setting Best Practices

SMART Goals Framework

  • Specific: "Run 5K" not "Get fit"
  • Measurable: Track with numbers
  • Achievable: Challenging but realistic
  • Relevant: Aligned with values
  • Time-bound: Set a deadline

The 1% Rule

Improve 1% each day. Small, consistent progress compounds into remarkable results. Focus on daily improvement, not perfection.

Process vs Outcome Goals

Outcome: "Lose 20 pounds" (result-focused). Process: "Exercise 4x/week" (action-focused). Process goals give you control and build habits.

Review and Adjust

Review goals weekly. Celebrate progress, adjust targets if needed, and recommit to the journey. Flexibility prevents discouragement.

📚 Real-World: Reading Goal

Goal: Read 24 books this year (2 per month)

Tracking: Current: 8 books, Target: 24 books = 33% complete

Month 4 Check: On track! Adjust to 30 books for stretch goal

Result: Finished 28 books - far more than without tracking!

Enter your goal name, add a description, set your target value and current progress, then click Add Goal. The goal will appear with a progress bar.
How do I update my progress?
Click the edit button on any goal, update the current value to reflect your progress, and save. The progress bar will update automatically.
What makes a good goal?
Good goals are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. "Save $5,000 by December" is better than "Save money".
How often should I update my goals?
Update whenever you make progress! For best results, review and update at least weekly. Regular tracking maintains motivation and awareness.

Yes! All goals and progress are automatically saved in your browser's local storage. They'll be there when you return.

Click the trash icon next to any goal to delete it. Use this for completed goals or ones you no longer pursue.
