“Improve my health,” “finish the project,” and “be more present” can all be meaningful. But they are difficult to act on until you can recognize movement.
Ask what would be different if the goal were progressing. Perhaps you would have a first appointment booked, a draft someone can read, or one evening each week protected from work.
The answer can be qualitative. It can describe a condition, an experience, or a finished artifact. Numbers are useful when they genuinely clarify the goal; they are not required simply because numbers are easy to track.
In Steady, the goal holds the direction. Daily commitments hold the next observable actions. You do not need to finish the goal today. You need to know what movement could look like.
