I did some brainstorming years ago on a similar idea, and the one part of it I would like to see implemented some day is tracking progress towards goals.

Trivial examples would be weight loss (or gain) to a goal weight bracket; or budgeting and building a retirement fund.

More complex one might be a career change, say going from programmer to lawyer, which involves lots of things over several years.

I think I had some decent ideas about measuring fuzzy progress but didn’t get very far with connectedness. For instance you have reading goals and a goal to read before bed (not on screen) and you want to get that law degree, so reading Book X might be working on all three, but each has a different kind of progress.

Anyway I agree it’s worth (someone) doing this and I wish you luck with it!
