Goals

What it’s for

Many of us set goals based on hope, then give up when real life doesn’t match. In Glide, every goal is measured with a number you already track in a routine. Glide shows whether you’re on track to reach your goal by the end date. That helps you set a goal you can actually reach, and change it if you need to.

Each goal also keeps a note of why it matters to you, so you can remember why you started.

Glide tells you how you’re doing without grading you, so it’s easier to look honestly and make changes. Missing a day doesn’t take away the days you made progress. More on goals built on real numbers.

Setting a goal

In You → Goals, tap +. Give the goal a name, write why it matters to you, and pick start and end dates. Then choose what measures it:

• A routine step: how many times you did it, or the percentage of days you did it.
• A metric: the latest number, the total, the average, or how many times you recorded it.
• A reflection: how many you wrote, or the percentage of days you wrote one.

Then set a target, like an average of 7.5 hours of sleep.

Following a goal

Tap a goal on Today to see how it’s going. You’ll see:

• how far along it is
• a line about your pace, like “On pace to finish”, or about where you’ll end up by the end date if you keep going like this
• the days this week when you made progress
• a chart of your progress next to the planned pace

Glide describes your pace. It doesn’t grade it.

Finishing or letting go

When you reach a goal, tap Mark as finished. If a goal doesn’t fit your life anymore, set it aside. It moves to Finished, marked as set aside, and nothing is deleted.

To change or delete a goal, tap it in You → Goals, or tap the pencil on its progress screen. A finished goal’s settings have a See progress button.
