>what it is:
>a couple of years ago, i came upon an article that explained to me that most people have a goal in life, and most people don't get there.
>not because they don't know how to get there, but because life comes at them fast, and they run off their path, forget, and don't prioritize getting back on track.
>
>a very simple system is to build loops that remind you to check in if you're currently on track or not.
>and that works by building loops however they work for you.
>
>i've figured out that my system works best if i write a weekly diary that leads into a monthly review of how i'm feeling, that connects into a quarterly check-in, that ties into an annual review.
>
>basically, i sit down once a year and say: where am i now? where do i want to go? where do i want to end the year?
>and that breaks down into tangible goals that break down into very tangible measurements that you can hit and check in on on a regular basis — in my case quarterly or monthly.
>
>i used it for five years. i used excel sheets and google docs.
>the hardest part was keeping the routine and actually doing it every week: sitting down and thinking about how you're feeling, sitting down and thinking about what you're doing.
>
>so i wanted to build an app that has a better ux than google sheets for input of text, and also sends you reminders.
>
>the issue with this project is that the ux and what i want is very different from the product experience for other people, because i know exactly what i'm trying to do.
>building a product that's usable for other people requires a significant amount of product effort: explaining what you're doing, how you're doing it, and what you're supposed to be doing.
>
>i hope to have a draft live soon that i can share with you that you can actually use as well.
>as long as i don't have that, feel free to read the article by markus müller — that's what i built my system on.
