| description | Track progress toward goals through efforts. Calculate completion percentages, surface stalled efforts, connect daily tasks to objectives. Use for goal reviews and progress tracking. |
Goal Tracking Skill
Track progress through the ACE effort system.
Effort-Based Goal Tracking
In the ACE framework, goals are tracked through Efforts - energy-based work items that flow between states:
| State | Folder | Description |
|---|
| On | efforts/on/ | Active focus - high energy |
| Ongoing | efforts/ongoing/ | Continuous - steady energy |
| Simmering | efforts/simmering/ | Back-burner - low energy |
| Sleeping | efforts/sleeping/ | Future - no energy |
| Archive | efforts/archive/ | Completed |

Calculating Progress
-
Count efforts by state:
- Active (on + ongoing)
- Inactive (simmering + sleeping)
- Completed (archive)
-
Track daily mentions:
- Scan daily notes for effort links
- Calculate activity frequency
-
Identify stalls:
- "On" efforts with no activity > 7 days
- "Ongoing" efforts with no activity > 14 days
Reports
Weekly Progress Report
## Effort Progress - Week of [DATE]
### Active Efforts (On)
| Effort | Progress | Last Activity | Status |
|--------|----------|---------------|--------|
| [[effort]] | X% | YYYY-MM-DD | On track/Stalled |
### Movement This Week
- Completed: N efforts → archive
- Started: N new efforts
- State changes: [list]
### Attention Needed
- [Effort] - on track but no activity 5 days
- [Effort] - consider moving to simmering
