Goals

A Goal is a concrete outcome inside an Arc. It should be meaningful enough to matter and clear enough to produce a next action.

Make the outcome finishable

Good goals are right-sized for the season you are actually in. They can be identity-anchored or outcome-based, but they should still help you decide what to do next.

If a goal feels noble but never turns into action, make it smaller or more specific.

  • Name what would count as progress.
  • Keep the time horizon human.
  • Use metrics only when they clarify the outcome.

Connect the goal back to an Arc

A Goal should express the Arc it belongs to. That link is what keeps the work from becoming a random task list.

When the link feels weak, ask what kind of person this Goal helps you practice becoming. If there is no answer, it may not belong in this Arc.

Sharing a goal

Shared goals should deepen accountability, not turn Kwilt into a public feed. Invite the right people when their presence helps you keep the commitment with more honesty or encouragement.

Privacy still matters. Share only what helps the goal move.
