Note on the use of the "Achievable" section:
+ Column 1: The number of tasks you have to fulfill in order to reach your specific goal.
+ Column 2: The tasks in detail.
+ Column 3: The way you reflect yourself whether you have accomplished the task or not (True means "Yes I have" and False means "No I haven't").
+ Column 4: The progress tracking system (If you have fulfilled all the task, the percentage is 100%)
THE END!
Hope you will fulfill all your goals after 4 years! Good luck!
