What Goals does
The Goals assistant tracks your goal hierarchy across all timescales - from daily 1-3-5 tasks up to yearly direction. It ensures your daily actions connect to quarterly quests and annual goals, so nothing falls through the cracks.
During planning rituals, Goals helps you select tasks that advance your priorities. During reflection rituals, it reviews what you planned versus what happened, capturing insights for future sessions.
GPS methodology
GPS is a three-layer framework for turning ambitions into daily action.
| Layer | Question | Purpose |
|---|
| Goal | What do I want? | Direction and motivation |
| Plan | How will I get there? | Strategy and milestones |
| System | What do I do today? | Daily execution and habits |
Most productivity systems fail because they focus on one layer. GPS connects all three so your daily actions actually move you toward your goals.
Goal layer
| Component | Purpose | Timescale |
|---|
| Life Compass | Core values, life areas, what matters most | Yearly |
| 3-Year Sketch | Longer-term vision, directional aims | Yearly |
| Why | The motivation behind each goal | Yearly |
| Anti-Goals | What you explicitly avoid | Yearly |
Plan layer
| Component | Purpose | Timescale |
|---|
| Quarterly Quest | One primary focus for the quarter | Quarterly |
| Major Moves | 3-5 strategic initiatives that advance the quest | Quarterly |
| 80% Reality Check | Constraints, blockers, capacity assessment | Quarterly |
| Crystal Ball | What success looks like at quarter end | Quarterly |
System layer
| Component | Purpose | Timescale |
|---|
| Balanced Week Blueprint | Ideal week structure, recurring commitments | Weekly |
| 1-3-5 Daily Method | Daily task selection (1 big, 3 medium, 5 small) | Daily |
| Tracking | Progress metrics, habit streaks | Daily |
| Reminders | Nudges and triggers | Daily |
| Accountability | Check-ins, commitments shared | Weekly |
The 1-3-5 method
A simple constraint that prevents overcommitment:
| Category | Count | Definition |
|---|
| Big | 1 | The one thing that moves the needle |
| Medium | 3 | Important tasks that support the big one |
| Small | 5 | Quick wins, admin, maintenance |
Total: 9 items maximum per day.
The constraint forces prioritization. If you cannot fit a task, something else must go.
The cascade
Goals flow down through timescales. Each level inherits context from above.
Yearly -> Life Compass defines life areas
|
Quarterly -> Quarterly Quest focuses one area
|
Weekly -> Balanced Week Blueprint allocates time
|
Daily -> 1-3-5 picks today's tasks from the week
Planning rituals pull context downward. Your daily plan inherits quarterly priorities.
Reflection rituals synthesize upward. Daily wins inform weekly reviews. Weekly patterns shape quarterly direction.
Actions
| Action | Timescale | What it does |
|---|
| Plan | Daily | Select 1-3-5 tasks from weekly Major Moves |
| Plan | Weekly | Define Major Moves from quarterly Quests |
| Plan | Quarterly | Set Quarterly Quest and Major Moves |
| Plan | Yearly | Review Life Compass, set annual direction |
| Reflect | All | Review planned vs actual, capture insights |
