You don't abandon a goal. You drift from it.

The Goals & Progress Life Goals App turns your personal goals into weekly plans you follow through on. Self-discovery, goal setting, planning, habits and reviews work together in one system, built on goal research. Even in your busiest weeks, you know the next step for every big goal.

It feels incredibly well researched and thoughtfully built, but it has never once made me feel like I'm failing at it.

I've started a morning walk that has really affected many parts of my life, downstream throughout the day but also in the evening when thinking about my next day.

Rank your Top 5 values, picture three possible futures and choose your focus areas, the parts of life that need you most right now.

Every Summit Goal is a big goal for 3, 5 or 10 years. It breaks down into a weekly plan and up to 3 main focus tasks for today.

Momentum, even in your busiest weeks

Momentum, even in your busiest weeks

When everything else turns urgent, you do the Lazy day version of a habit, a smaller step you planned in advance, and keep your streak. Short reviews show you what to adjust.

How it works

  1. Discover what matters

    Sort 28 value cards into your Top 5, rate your 10 life areas and pick your focus areas.

  2. Set your Summit Goals

    Set a big goal for 3, 5 or 10 years in each focus area, then break it down by year, quarter and week.

  3. Act every day

    Every day starts with up to 3 main focus tasks, each tied to one of your goals, next to your habits.

  4. Review, learn and adapt

    Reflect for 3 minutes each evening and 10 minutes on Sunday. A monthly check-in shows what got in the way, so you can adjust early.

Every step is based on methods backed by research: goals rooted in your own values, if-then plans, progress tracking and regular reviews. The studies tested these methods, not this app. Sources: Sheldon and Elliot 1999, Koestner and colleagues 2008, Tannenbaum and Cerasoli 2013, Keiser and Arthur 2021

The day plan: each task shows the goal it serves

Is it for you?

It's for you if you set goals every year and want them to last past February. Expect a few minutes a day and 10 minutes on Sunday.

It fits you if

  • You have personal goals, like health, family or a career change, and want them to shape your weeks.
  • You can spare a few minutes each evening, and 10 on Sunday, to look back.
  • You juggle work, family and personal goals and want them all in one system.

It is probably not for you if

  • You want results by the weekend from a single session.
  • You only want to tick off habits.
  • You want an app that decides your goals for you.
  • You need an App Store app, an AI coach or team features.

Start with what matters.

Sort 28 value cards, from Growth to Security, and keep the five that matter most to you. In five minutes, you know your core values and have them prioritized. When you set a goal, your five values are right there beside it.

People stick with goals they choose for their own reasons, and reaching those goals brings them more well-being.

Values first in the app

From someday to today.

For each focus area, you set a Summit Goal: your big goal for the next 3, 5 or 10 years. Then you break it down into this year, this quarter, this month and this week. Even on a busy Tuesday, you define up to 3 main tasks for today, which are tied to one of your goals.

You see which tasks move a goal forward, and which ones you can safely drop.

The Goal Cascade in the app

Try it with your own goal.

Type one big goal. Then answer one short question for each level: next year, this quarter, this month, this week and today.

Take a suggestion or type your own words. In the app, every task you add shows the goal it serves.

Plan for the busy weeks before they come.

You list what could stop each goal and whether it is in your control. That list is your Friction Map. For each obstacle, you write an if-then plan, such as “If I work late, I run in the morning.” Once a month, you check whether it worked.

When a busy week comes, your plan is already made.

Busy day? Do the small version.

For every habit, you plan a smaller version in advance: the Lazy day version. On days when everything else is urgent, you do that instead, and your streak keeps going.

"The lazy day feature of the habit tracker actually made me more consistent than I realized."

Spot a drifting goal within 2 weeks.

You review for 3 minutes each evening and 10 minutes on Sunday, plus a short check-in each month and each quarter. Every review starts from your plan, so you see what changed.

Your Sunday review lists each goal that got no work for 2 weeks in a row.

Settings: reflection depth, when you reflect on the day, when you plan the day
Ramon Landes

I built this because I kept watching good intentions fade, including my own.

Every January I set goals I believed in. By March, I could not have told you what they were. I meant them, but nothing connected them to my actual week.

So I asked a simpler question: how do the values I care about show up in what I do today? This app is the answer I wish I had. It is one person's work, built for people who want their goals to show up in their weeks.

Try the demo
I have the free worksheets. What does the app add?

The worksheets give you the method on paper. In the app, every task you add shows the goal it serves. A short review each evening and on Sunday shows whether your week still matches your goals. Your streaks and your numbers in Insights update by themselves.

Can I try the app before I buy it?

Yes. The demo fills the app with an example plan. It needs no license code and no sign-up, and your own plan stays untouched.

How do I get my money back?

What if I lose my license code?

It is in your receipt email from Gumroad. If you cannot find it, write to support@goalsandprogress.com and I will send it to you again.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You enter the license code once in each browser. Connect your own Dropbox to use one plan on your phone and your computer.

How much time will the app take?

You can do the first setup in one go, or stop halfway and continue later. Or choose Guided start: one short setup step a day, for 6 days. After that, it takes a few minutes a day and 10 minutes on Sunday.

What happens if I miss a week?

Missed days and reviews fade away, so nothing piles up. After a break, the app shows you one next step to get going again. You can also mark a day, a week or a month as a break.

Who can see my plan?

Only you. Your goals stay in your browser, and in your own Dropbox if you connect it. The app sends no goal content anywhere. It sends anonymous usage counts.

Should I get the app or the workbook?

Both follow the same method. The Life Goals Workbook is the printable version. The app adds tracking, reminders and insights. Use either, or both.

Can I lose my plan?

You can save your plan as a file at any time, and your own Dropbox can keep a copy. The plan itself lives in your browser, and a browser can delete it, so the app reminds you about once a week to save it. You can load your plan back from the file or from Dropbox.

Give your big goals a place in this week.
