Goal Progress Journal — Template
Use this weekly for each active long-term goal. Distinct from the Weekly Review — this is scoped to one goal’s trajectory, not the whole week.
- Goal: [FILL]
- Target date: [FILL]
- Week of: [FILL]
1. Objective and Key Results
State the goal as an objective with measurable key results (OKR-style), so “progress” is concrete rather than a feeling.
- Objective: [FILL]
- Key result 1: [FILL] — Progress: [FILL]%
- Key result 2: [FILL] — Progress: [FILL]%
2. This Week’s Movement
- What moved this goal forward this week? [FILL]
- Milestone progress (0-100%): [FILL]
3. Blockers
| Blocker | Type (skill / time / resource / external) | Action to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| [FILL] | [FILL] | [FILL] |
4. Confidence Check
- Confidence I’ll hit the target date (0-100%): [FILL]
- What would need to be true for confidence to go up? [FILL]
5. Next Action
The single next concrete action, small enough to start immediately.
[FILL]
Reference: OKR framing (objective + measurable key results) keeps “progress” falsifiable rather than a vague sense of motion.
