Keep it specific. “Drink more water” can be hard to judge at the end of the day. “Drink eight glasses of water today” gives you something concrete to answer.

Goal Examples
Choose a goal you can recognize in real life.
A Daily Anchor goal does not need to sound impressive. It just needs to be clear enough that you can tell whether you followed through.
Use the examples below as starting points, not rules. You can write your own goal in your own words — from a small daily action to something you want to stay consistent with over time.
Goal shaping
What makes a useful Daily Anchor goal?
Keep it realistic for the cycle you choose. The goal can be meaningful without requiring a dramatic life change. A small action you can repeat honestly is often more useful than a perfect-sounding target.
Make the check-in answerable. You should be able to look back on the day and answer YES or NO without having to debate what the goal meant.
Leave room to learn. A NO does not mean the goal was a bad choice or that you failed. It gives you information you can use when deciding whether to continue, reset, or adjust what you are working on.
