Set up a Goal Loop in Settings → Goals
Create the canonical Goal Loop manually, choose its intent direction, and decide when local planned sessions begin—without requiring AI or a connection.

Direction. Protected session. Evidence.
Seven research-informed guides centered on Goal Loops: choose a direction, protect one useful session, and use local evidence to decide what comes next.

Start with Goal Loops
Set direction. Protect the session. Close the Loop.
Use the three core guides to create a loop, shape the week, and complete one block.
Build a weekly Goal Loop with local planned sessions
Turn one Goal Loop cadence into local planned sessions and reminders, then use Move +1 day or Skip when the week changes.
Read the guideRun a protected session and Close the Loop
Use the shipped preflight—optional goal, session outcome, supporting intent, optional definition of done, and duration—then capture evidence in Close the Loop.
Read the guideSupporting practices
Improve the conditions around the loop.
Shape the environment, recover cleanly, read weekly evidence, and refine intent direction.
Design a focus environment that makes the next action easier
Use stable cues, fewer visible choices, and intentional friction so your workspace supports the work before motivation arrives.
Read the guideUse recovery breaks without losing your momentum
Treat the break as a deliberate change of state: close the work loop, step away from high-demand input, and return through a written next action.
Read the guideRead a Goal Loop’s weekly evidence without pressure
Use the local seven-day runway, session evidence, and rule-based recommendation to choose one practical adjustment for the current Goal Loop.
Read the guideCreate an intent set for New Tab or Goal Loop Direction
Write credible, behavior-linked lines, then choose whether the set should guide the active New Tab mindset or a Goal Loop’s Direction.
Read the guideHow to use this library
Build one loop before adding complexity.
Begin with the Goal Loop setup guide, run a protected session, and review the evidence saved on your device. Add a supporting practice only where the loop needs help.
- 1Direct
Define the outcome and choose the intent set that will guide it.
- 2Protect
Give the next visible outcome a bounded focus session.
- 3Learn
Close the Loop and make one evidence-based adjustment.
