Action guide
Tasks, Habits, And Goals
Use tasks, habits, goals, templates, and focus blocks to make action small enough to begin.

- Plans should support care and recovery, not guilt or public performance.
Plans are useful when they make life clearer. They become heavy when they ask for more than the season can hold.
🎯 Use This When
- You know what matters but need structure.
- A goal feels too large.
- A routine needs a gentler shape.
🔒 What Stays Private
Your goals, tasks, habits, progress, and reflections stay private unless you separately choose to share them. Using a template can also connect you to a Circle for the same practice, but joining that Circle does not publish your plan.
✅ One Thing To Do Now
Choose the smallest useful shape: task, habit, goal, or focus.
The Planning Flow
In short: name the need, choose the right action shape, make it small, add a reminder only if useful, and review later.
Action Shapes
| Shape | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Task | One clear action. | Making it too broad. |
| Habit | A repeated rhythm. | Keeping it after it stops helping. |
| Goal | A larger direction. | Hiding the next small step. |
| Focus | Protected time. | Turning every moment into output. |
Start With A Template
A template turns a common intention into normal, editable goals, tasks, or habits. Some templates ask for one useful detail first. For example, choosing Basketball, Spanish, or Guitar gives your plan the right wording and connects it to the matching practice Circle instead of a broad Sport, Language, or Music room.
Before anything is added, the review shows both your private actions and any Circle that comes with them. Every practice Circle keeps its member list private, and its discussions stay inside the Circle instead of appearing in Feed. The difference is how you choose to join:
- Everyday practice Circles are clearly shown and included by default. Turn one off before applying if you only want the private plan.
- Sensitive support Circles are never included by default. Joining requires a separate choice and a clear explanation of the room's purpose.
- Choosing Other lets you write a personal answer and keeps it personal; free text never creates or selects a Circle.
Only posts you deliberately make inside a Circle are shared there. You can mute a Circle or leave it at any time without deleting or changing your goal, tasks, habits, or reflections.
Recovery Is Part Of Planning
Use pause, reduce, restart, or reschedule when life changes. A plan that cannot bend will eventually become noise.
🌿 Why This Matters
Act supports balance when it turns meaning into one manageable move.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Should I turn every idea into a task?
No. Some ideas belong in a private note, a later reflection, or nowhere at all.
What if a goal keeps slipping?
Lower the next step or pause the goal. Slipping can mean the shape is wrong.
Does using a template make my goal public?
No. The goal and every action created from it remain private. A matching Circle is a separate place where you decide what, if anything, to post.
Will a template add me to a Circle?
The review names any matching Circle before you apply. Everyday practice Circles start included, and you can turn them off. Sensitive support Circles start excluded and require your explicit choice.
What happens if I choose Other?
Your answer personalizes the private action only. It does not create a new Circle or place you in a broad catch-all room.
Can I leave the Circle without losing my plan?
Yes. Leaving or muting the Circle does not change the goal, tasks, habits, or reflections in your plan.
