Goals

Goals are the bigger arcs sitting above your day-to-day. “Ship the new feature.” “Run a half marathon.” “Read twelve books this year.” They live separately from your task inbox so they don’t drown in the noise.

Each goal has a clear completion state and tracks progress as the underlying work lands. You can mark goals done by hand when they’re finished, or let them progress organically as related tasks and habits feed in. Edit them as your plans shift; delete the ones that stop mattering.

Goals share their page with Retrospectives, which is intentional — the two are meant to be looked at together. Pop open a retrospective alongside your goal list and you have everything you need to think about what’s working and what isn’t.

There’s no pressure to set a goal for everything. Some weeks you’ll have a clear one, some weeks you won’t, and Synlit doesn’t mind either way.
