Set goals and track milestones

Turn big ambitions into goals with milestones, and watch progress fill in as you complete them.

Step 1: Open Journey → My Goals

Go to Journey in the main navigation and select the Goals tab.

Step 2: Click “＋ New Goal”

Use the “＋ New Goal” button, or start from a template if you want a worked example.

Step 3: Name the goal

Give it a specific title — “Learn to play guitar”, “Run a 5K”, “Save $5,000”. Set a Category and a Priority of High, Medium or Low.

Step 4: Write why it matters

The “Why does this matter to you?” field is what your companion quotes back on the hard days. There is also “who you are becoming” for the person behind the goal, and an evidence field for something you could point at — not a percentage.

Step 5: Break it into milestones

Add milestone steps with “Add goal”. Progress is calculated from the milestones you complete, so the goal moves only when real work does.

Step 6: Mark milestones done

Check off each milestone as you finish it, or ask your companion to mark it done.

Step 7: Learn about goals and direction

Life Navigation Lessons — the 🧭 item in Journey's side panel — has a whole module on goals: goals vs wishes, choosing what not to pursue, goals that conflict, outcome and process goals, this week's action, measuring progress honestly, persistence or stubbornness, and letting a goal go. The links under your goals open it.
