Goals – FocalShift

The number you set — in view everywhere, and fed by the real work.

Always in viewThe ring lives in your header, everywhere. No spreadsheet visit required to know where you stand.

Fed by real eventsInvoices, renewals, sales — the goal moves when money moves, not when you remember to update it.

Honest paceHalfway through the month at 38%? You know today, not on the 31st.

Because you said increase my earnings each month.

Name the figure you are working towards and it leaves the notebook — it goes up along the top of every screen, and fills itself as the work lands.

Set it once, and it is in front of youChoose what you are growing and where you want it to get to, then make it your header goal — and from then on it rides along the top of every screen you open. Knowing where the month stands is no longer an errand you have to remember to run.

It fills from the real workNothing is entered twice. Money that lands, renewals, things sold at the counter, posts that went out — whatever the goal counts, it counts the real thing at the moment it happens, not the afternoon you set aside to update a sheet.

And it comes back as a weekMaven works the target backwards into an ordered week: what to do next, where the gap is, and the pace that keeps you level with it. Change the target and the plan is rewritten before you have finished typing.

The Goals screen. Under a small target-shaped eyebrow reading GOALS, the heading asks what your goal is, and the line beneath it says you tell Maven the target and it reverse-engineers the game plan — every path to get there, the weekly actions, and your live progress. On the left a panel headed Set your goal: a field labelled “I want to grow my…” holding the kind of growth currently chosen, published posts; below it a target, and beside it what the account is currently at, marked in green as live from your real activity; below those a profit or price per sale with the currency mark inside the field, and a timeline in months. Under them a solid violet control reading “Make this my header goal”, and a small grey note that it drives the progress bar in your header, that for every type except a custom goal the progress fills itself from your real activity, and that custom goals are tracked by hand and earn no experience points. On the right a violet-to-blue panel headed YOUR GAME PLAN carrying the target in large type with its unit, the month it is due and how far along you are, over a progress bar labelled with where you stand now at one end and how much is left at the other. Beneath it three plain tiles: how many customers the target needs, how many more there are to get, and the weekly pace it works out to.

The figure you are working towards, in front of you all month.

A goal that lives in a notebook is a wish. Name what you are growing, name where you want it to get to, and make it your header goal — and it moves out of the notebook and into the bar along the top of every screen in the platform. There is no page you have to go and visit to find out how the month is going, because it is already in front of you.

It fills from the work rather than from your memory. Money that lands, renewals, things sold at the counter, posts that went out — whatever the goal counts, it counts the real thing, at the moment it happens. The figure you glance at on a Tuesday afternoon is the figure, not the figure as of the last time somebody remembered to update a sheet.

And it is honest about pace. Beside the target sits what is left to go, what that works out to each week, and how many customers it would take — so a month that is quietly drifting says so early, while there is still a month left to do something about it.

Then Maven works the whole thing backwards into a week you can actually do: an ordered set of moves drawn from the tools you already run, each one sized against the gap, and rewritten the moment you change the target. Hand Maven the plan and the first pass is already made when you come back to it.

What it actually does

A target that rides along the top of every screen
Progress that fills itself from what actually happened
A weekly plan rebuilt whenever the target moves

What that changes for you

You know where the month stands without going to look
Ambition and reality stay on speaking terms
A slow month announces itself early, not at the end of it

You come away with a target you can see from anywhere, and the week that gets you to it.
