Tracking Progress
The Goals page gives you a snapshot of your active pursuits. The Progress page goes deeper — stats, category breakdowns, and a milestone view organized by urgency.
The Goals page
Your active goals appear in two sections:
- Spotlight — the goal furthest along gets an expanded card at the top with its full description and a progress bar. This changes as your goals advance.
- Active Aspirations — the rest of your active goals in a grid. Each card shows the title, description preview, priority, tags, milestone count, and progress ring.
Below those, Recently Manifested lists your completed goals in order of most recently updated.
Progress rings
Every goal card shows a circular progress ring that fills as you complete checklist items and milestones. The color indicates how far along you are:
- Green — 75%+ complete or fully completed
- Amber — 50–74% complete
- Default — under 50%
The Progress page
Navigate to the Progress page for a fuller picture across all your goals.
Stats tiles
Four numbers at a glance:
- Active goals — count of Not Started + In Progress + On Hold
- Completed goals — total goals marked Completed
- Average progress — mean completion % across your active goals
- Overdue — goals with a passed target date not yet marked complete
Status distribution
A horizontal bar showing the proportion of all your goals by status — how much is active vs. completed vs. on hold. Useful for seeing whether your goals list is balanced or whether things are piling up in one state.
By category
A chart of your top goal tags showing which areas you have the most goals in. If Health and Career dominate while Learning has one entry, that's visible here.
Milestones by urgency
The Progress page organizes all your outstanding milestones into buckets based on their target dates:
| Bucket | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Overdue | Target date passed, not yet complete |
| This Week | Due within 7 days |
| This Month | Due within 30 days |
| Later | Due further out |
| No Date | No target date set |
| Completed | Finished milestones, shown for reference |
Use this view to make sure you're not ignoring a milestone that's slipping past its date.
Filtering on the Goals page
Use the filter controls to narrow your view:
- Status — show only goals in a specific status (all statuses, or pick one)
- Priority — show only High, Medium, or Low priority goals
By default, Archived and Abandoned goals are hidden. Select those statuses explicitly if you want to see them.
Common questions
My progress ring isn't moving. Why? Progress is based on completed checklist items and milestones. If your goal has no checklists or milestones, there's nothing to calculate. Add at least a basic checklist to start tracking progress.
A goal is 100% but I haven't marked it Completed. Does that matter? Progress percentage and status are separate. You can have a fully-checked checklist without changing the status. When you're satisfied the goal is genuinely done, change the status to Completed — it moves the goal to the Recently Manifested section and captures a completion date.
How do I find goals I abandoned months ago? Use the Status filter on the Goals page and select Abandoned. Your abandoned goals will appear and you can reactivate or delete them.
