WHAT I'M STRIVING FOR RIGHT NOW

GOALS_

What I'm working on, and how far along it is. Every figure updates as I log the work.

BHAG
A big hairy audacious goal. The long-range destination, measured in years rather than months.
Milestone
The stage of that destination in progress. One at a time; the next begins when this one closes.
Target
A countable measure of that stage: scenes written, miles run, films watched. Each square is a day.
