Goals, and why this one

One focus at a time, with its reasoning shown and a swap if it does not suit you.

Where this is in iWhisk

Journey, your focus for today

A goal here is not a task somebody wrote for everybody. It is chosen from what your kitchen currently looks like, and the card shows its reasoning so that you can disagree with it.

A goal card headed your focus for today, reading refresh your kitchen picture, capture what is in your kitchen today, marked plus 15 SP. A panel headed why this fits reads: your Kitchen picture is the foundation for useful next actions. Progress shows 0 of 1, available today. A section headed what counts reads: save a food capture to refresh your kitchen picture. Three controls follow: refresh kitchen, swap, and a dismiss cross. — Screen 6.05a A goal that shows its working Four things on one card: what to do, **why this fits** your kitchen right now, **what counts** as finishing it, and what it is worth. Swap is there because a goal you cannot do this week is worse than no goal at all.

Why this fits, and what counts

Two labels on every goal do the work that matters.

Why this fits is the reason this one was chosen for you, in a sentence.
What counts is the exact thing that completes it, so you are never left wondering whether what you did registered.

Swapping and dismissing

Swap exchanges the goal for a different one. The cross clears it. Neither costs you anything, and neither is recorded as a failure.

A weekly goal appears once iWhisk knows enough about your household for one to be worth suggesting. Until then you see the daily goal only, which is the honest behaviour: a weekly target invented from no information is decoration.
