Missions: add levels, give each a percent, watch the bar move

For things you have planned. Break it into levels. Say how much each level counts. Tick levels as you finish them and watch the bar fill, all by itself.

Why it exists

  • Some goals are big, and you can feel nothing is moving.
  • A mission makes the progress visible.
  • You do not type a percentage. You just finish a level, and the bar moves.
  • Seeing the bar move is what keeps you going.

Step 4. Write the level and say how much it counts.

Write the step, for example "Buy a guitar". Under it, move the slider to say how much it contributes to the mission. The screen tells you how much is still free, for example "24% is still free". Tap Save.

Step 5. Add the other levels.

Tap Add level again. Do the same for each step. For example: "Learn 4 basic chords". "Play one song". Together, your levels use up to 100 percent. The slider stops when no percent is left, so you cannot go over.

Step 8. Finish and keep the win.

When every level is ticked, OnceWrote asks if you finished. Say yes, and you can save it as a win with today's date. If not yet, it goes back one step.

Good to know

  • Levels are ticked by you. Nothing ticks itself.
  • You can change a level, add a level or delete a level any time. Tap Edit.
  • Your Weekly Report shows each mission that moved, for example "Learn guitar 0% → 76%".
  • Missions are for plans. If you do not have a plan yet, make a Project.

Questions

  • Do I have to type a percentage? No. You say how much each level counts. The bar does the rest.
  • Can I have many missions at once? Yes. They sit side by side on the Dashboard.
  • What if I lose interest? You can leave it, or delete it. Nothing turns red.
