How to run a 90-day goal sprint that survives week three
Most quarterly plans die around week three. Here is the structure we use to get to week twelve, and the one habit that carries it.
90-Day Goal Sprint
Turn one big goal into twelve honest weeks, with a weekly review that takes ten minutes.
USD 12
Excel and Google Sheets versions in one download. No macros, no add-ons.
Inside
Setup, input, dashboard.
What is inside
4 sheets, one file.
- 1
Setup
Your one goal, why it matters, and the three outcomes that would prove it.
- 2
Weekly plan
Twelve rows, one per week. Three actions each, no more.
- 3
Weekly review
Done, not done, and the one thing in the way. Ten minutes on Sunday.
- 4
Dashboard
Progress bar, streak of reviews completed, and where the weeks went.
Who it is for
This fits if
- You have one goal that keeps slipping to next quarter.
- You start strong and lose the thread by week three.
- You want a plan you can review in ten minutes, not a project management tool.
How to use it
Five steps.
- 1
Open Setup and write one goal. If you have three, pick the one you would be most embarrassed to skip again.
- 2
Write three outcomes that would prove the goal is done. Numbers if you can.
- 3
Fill in week one only. Three actions. Leave the other eleven weeks empty for now.
- 4
Every Sunday, open Weekly review, mark what got done and name the one thing in the way. Then plan the next week.
- 5
Look at the Dashboard once a week, not once a day. The progress bar is for the twelve-week view.
Questions
Excel or Google Sheets?
Both. The download has an .xlsx file and a link to make your own copy of the Sheets version. Same formulas, same layout.
What if I miss a week?
Leave it blank and keep going. The dashboard shows gaps honestly. A blank week is data, not failure.
Refunds?
Seven days, no questions. Email hello@progressiness.com.

Uncover is a twenty-minute session that ends by naming the template that fits what you found. Most of these were built after one of us did it.
