Goal tracker
Every goal you save from the SMART worksheet lands here. Nudge the number, tick milestones and see if you're on pace for the deadline.
Why a goal tracker helps
Writing a goal down is step one. Checking it is where the change happens: Harkin et al. (2016) pooled 138 studies and found that monitoring progress made people more likely to reach their goals, especially when they recorded it physically or shared it. The pink bar is where you are; the blue tick is where a steady pace would put you today.
A goal planner that works has three parts: a clear goal (SMART worksheet), daily actions (habit tracker) and this weekly check-in.
Questions people ask
How does this goal tracker work?
Write a goal on the SMART goals worksheet and save it, or add a quick goal here. Each goal has a start value, a target and a deadline. Update your current number and tick milestones; the tracker shows your progress and whether you are ahead of or behind a straight-line pace to the deadline.
What does "on pace" mean?
It compares how far you are toward the target with how much of the time between the day you created the goal and the deadline has passed. If 40% of the time has gone and you are 50% of the way there, you are ahead.
Does tracking progress really help?
Yes. A meta-analysis by Harkin and colleagues (2016) of 138 studies found that monitoring progress improved goal attainment, and the effect was larger when progress was recorded or reported.
