I use an app that I wrote, meditations, in order to break down goals into daily habits: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations https://github.com/ioddly/meditations e.g. "I want to run a marathon" becomes a daily "Exercise" habit. It's good for both progress and logging; now if I want to know what program I was running on June 28, 2015 for example I just filter for Exercise and go back to June 2015. It was originally a Trello board so it's got an obviously kanban-ish look to it, but it's got things built in to collect things like time spent on habits overall, streaks. I'm still working on the best flow for longer-term projects and "negative habits" (i.e. losing weight, not compulsively using the internet).
