SMART Goal Planner: Your Sheet and Milestones
Turn a wish into a clear plan with an action, a measure, a starting value and a date. Add the time and resources you choose, plus a fallback. The milestones use your numbers; your words stay on this page, with no account and no data sent.
From a wish to your next step
No inputs sent. Nothing kept after closing unless you download a file.
Worked example
With a baseline of 0 pages, a target of 120 and 20 pages read, progress is 16.66667%. Three illustrative milestones mark 40, 80 and 120 pages. They are planning references, not a recommended reading pace.
| Milestone | Civil date | Chosen linear reference | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2026-11-11 | 40 | pages |
| 2 | 2026-11-21 | 80 | pages |
| 3 | 2026-11-30 | 120 | pages |
How to use it
Replace the example with your values and check units. Results update as you edit. Keep a scenario to compare, then export a file; this tool’s JSON can restore your inputs.

Method and sources
SMART asks for a specific action, a measure, resources, relevance and a deadline. This sheet cannot decide what is achievable for you. Progress is (observed − baseline) ÷ (target − baseline) × 100, including decreasing targets. Milestones divide the chosen change linearly and round dates up to whole civil days.

Starting values are a fictional example. The method and limits below describe what is actually calculated.
Who it is for, and limits
Milestones do not predict your pace. Negative progress and values above 100% remain visible because they describe your inputs. A target equal to the baseline has no progress percentage. Choose an observable action and real resources; the tool makes no promise of success or personal transformation.
Common questions
Do milestones predict my pace?
Milestones are a chosen division of your target gap, not a forecast. Change dates and values to suit your plan.
Can a target be lower?
The formula also handles a decrease. A target equal to the baseline has no progress percentage.
Does AI write the plan?
The sheet uses your own words. No writing service or third-party account is called.
Where do my inputs go?
They stay on this page. An explicit export keeps data in your chosen file; nothing is saved automatically.
Can I compare and restore a scenario?
Compare keeps up to three scenarios during this session. The JSON download lets you restore a scenario after closing.
