Disclaimer: this post is delayed one month.

Third quarter is complete and I feel that I'm still in good shape even though I only progressed 3.76% this month (I will come back later in this topic). My total progress is 80.44%. I'm ahead ~5% of the ideal world which would be 75%.

As last month I went beyond the 100% in the goal "Build 6 assets that can generate passive income” I decided to plot this information in the chart. As you can see now we have a new blue bar that indicates the work that I did that surpassed the 100%. September this value was 7.45%

Another good thing (I can enumerate several 😁) about this data driven goal tracking is that I'm easily able to compare to the Ideal World. But what is the Ideal World? Simply put it is a straight line that goes from 0% in January, 1 to 100% in December, 31. In an Ideal World this line represents the progress that you must make every month to complete your goals. To stick to this line I have to progress each month 8.33%. The table below shows how much progress I have to make at the end of each month to walk the line.

As I shared earlier, September's progress was 3.76% far from the expected progress of 8.33%. Aside from that I was able to complete another two goals which is awesome!

  1. Execute 52 sessions of physical exercise for 30 minutes
  2. Execute 130 Pomodoro sessions in side hustle projects

I knew that both would be completed very earlier in the year, the data was showing me that. Although it is always refreshing to tick a thing in your TODO list. Now I have completed 4 out of 7 goals.
