How do you track your progress?

Yesterday was the first day of the second half of the year (well, it was when I wrote it on July 1, 2025). A little mind-boggling, but it's a time when many of us check in on ourselves to see how we are progressing towards the goals we have set.

As I worked on my own yesterday and then read Mariel Diaz's post on Typeshare, I started to wonder what everyone else does to track their progress.

Below is just a brief outline of what I do, but I would love to hear your methods.

At the beginning of every quarter, I go through a slightly modified version of Dan Sullivan's The ABC Model Breakthrough.

1. I do a brain dump of all of my activities (relating to work)
2. I then sort them into 3 categories - Irritating, Okay, Fascinating
3. In each of those categories, I pick up to 3 activities to target for the quarter.
4. From those activities, I create goals for each one for the quarter. Idea is to get rid of/improve the irritating, delegate/automate the okay, and find ways to do more of the fascinating.
5. I take it one step further and use his 4Cs method to identify the Game Changer - the one big thing that will move me closer to an ultimate goal.
6. I then put all of these goals into Clickup and track them throughout the quarter. Some I check in on daily, some weekly, and some at the end of the quarter.

I also do a quarterly mind-clearing exercise that I got from one of Dave Crenshaw's trainings.

Share your methods below. We could all learn some new ways to help us reach our goals. I learned a great deal from Mariel's post.
