  4. You’re in!

Step 2: Create Your First Goal

Once you’re logged in, you’ll see your dashboard. Time to create your first goal.

What Makes a Good Goal?

A good first goal should be:

  • ✅ Specific: “Write 500 words daily” not “Get better at writing”
  • ✅ Measurable: You can clearly say “yes, I did it” or “no, I didn’t”
  • ✅ Daily or Regular: Something you can practice frequently
  • ✅ 10-30 minutes: Long enough to matter, short enough to sustain
  • ✅ Exciting: You’re motivated to work on it, not just “should” do it

Creating Your Goal

  1. Click “Start New Goal”
  2. Enter your goal title
    • Example: “Practice Spanish Conversation”
    • Example: “Do 20 Push-ups”
    • Example: “Write 500 Words”
  3. Add a description (optional but recommended)
    • What do you want to achieve?
    • Why does this matter to you?
    • What will success look like?
  4. Click “Start Goal”

That’s it! Your goal is now live.

Step 3: Log Your First Rep

Now comes the important part: actually doing the thing.

  1. Complete your first repetition (go do it right now!)
  2. Come back to the app
  3. Click on your goal
  4. Click “Add Progress” or the "+" button
  5. Your counter updates: 1/100 ✨

Congratulations! You’ve taken the hardest step - starting.

Step 4: Build Your Streak

Now the journey really begins. Your goal is to log reps consistently.

Tips for Building a Streak

Set a Schedule: Pick a specific time each day

  • “After my morning coffee”
  • “During my lunch break”
  • “Before bed”

Start Small: Don’t try to be perfect

  • Tired? Do a shorter version
  • Busy? Do the minimum
  • Just show up

Track Immediately: Log your rep right after completing it

  • Don’t wait until end of day
  • Strike while the motivation is hot

Understanding Your Dashboard

Goal Cards

Each goal shows:

  • Title and description
  • Current progress (e.g., “23/100”)
  • Progress bar visualization
  • Status (Active or Completed)

Sorting Options

Sort your goals by:

  • Recent: Last updated goals first

Your First Week

Here’s what to expect in your first week:

Days 1-3: The Honeymoon

You’re excited. Motivation is high. Enjoy it, but don’t rely on it.

Days 4-7: The Reality Check

Motivation fades. This is normal. This is where discipline begins.

The Secret: You don’t need motivation. You just need to show up.

Common Beginner Questions

What if I miss a day?

Option 1: If you catch it quickly (within 24 hours), log it late. We track total reps, not perfect streaks.

Option 2: Just continue tomorrow. One missed day doesn’t erase your progress.

Remember: The goal is 100 total reps, not a perfect 100-day streak.

Can I work on multiple goals?

Yes! But we recommend starting with just one goal until you hit 30 days. Building one solid habit is better than juggling multiple weak ones.

Free Plan: Up to 3 active goals
Pro Plan: Up to 25 active goals
Enterprise: Unlimited goals

How long should each rep take?

This depends on your goal. Most people find success with:

  • Physical goals: 15-30 minutes
  • Learning goals: 20-30 minutes
  • Creative goals: 30-45 minutes
  • Mindfulness: 10-20 minutes

The key: Consistency beats duration. 15 minutes daily beats 2 hours weekly.

What happens when I reach 100?

Celebration! 🎉

Your goal is marked as Completed and archived. You can:

  • View your complete history
  • Export your data (Pro/Enterprise)
  • Start a new related goal
  • Take a well-deserved break

Most importantly: you’ve proven to yourself that you finish what you start. That’s a superpower.

Next Steps
