What's a "journey"?

A journey is your map for a person or project. Your journey, your rules.

More than a goal

Goals are destinations. A journey is the entire path — the principles you’re developing, the activities that prove progress, and the timeline of growth.

Anatomy of a journey

Each journey in Together Progress has:

  • A subject — who or what is this journey for?
  • Principles — the big-picture values or skills you’re developing
  • Activities — concrete actions that demonstrate progress
  • History — a timeline showing growth over time

Examples of journeys

  • For yourself — personal development, health, career growth
  • For a child — life skills, values, independence
  • For a relationship — communication, quality time, shared goals
  • For a project — milestones, habits, team development

Why “journey”?

The word matters. It implies:

  • Movement — you’re going somewhere
  • Duration — it takes time
  • Experience — the path matters, not just the destination

A journey isn’t something you complete and forget. It’s an ongoing practice of intentional growth.

Your journey, your rules

There’s no right or wrong way to structure your journey. Some people prefer many small principles. Others like fewer, broader ones. Some track daily activities. Others weekly.

The only rule: make it yours. Define what matters to you. Track what feels meaningful. Adjust as you learn.
