My milestones
Illness turns time into a sequence of appointments. Milestones put something of your own back into the calendar — and give you a record of ground you have already covered.
Milestones or goals?
A goal is something to act on this fortnight, with a first step and a bad-day version. A milestone is a marker you are moving towards — the last cycle, the walk to the gate, the wedding — and a moment worth marking when it arrives. Most people want both.
Or start from one of these
Nothing marked out yet
Milestones are different from goals. A goal is something to do this fortnight; a milestone is a point you are moving towards, and a moment worth marking when you reach it.
If a milestone slips
Illness moves the dates. A milestone that has to be paused has not been failed — pause it, keep it, and bring it back when the week allows. Shrinking it is also allowed: a shorter walk, a phone call instead of a visit.
