What problem does it solve?

The GPS Method turns vague goals into concrete, executable plans by pairing goal definition with a structured roadmap and an execution system, helping users move from intention to action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Goal-Definition: Create specific, motivating goals with anti-goals to set clear boundaries.
  • Plan & Diagnosis: Build a 3-5 major moves plan, plus a Crystal Ball-style failure forecast to anticipate obstacles.
  • System for Execution: Establish tracking, reminders, and accountability to sustain progress across personal, learning, and work goals.
  • Documented Templates: Use references templates (goal-template.md, diagnostic-guide.md) to standardize goal documentation and troubleshooting.
  • Use Cases: Applies to learning, career, relationships, health, and creative projects.

Quick Start

Define a specific goal, create 3-5 major moves, design a tracking/reminders/accountability system, and document progress with the provided templates. Then use a command like: "Create a GPS goal document for learning TypeScript with 3 major moves and a weekly review cadence."
