some ideas (please check the examples below)

I think the idea is to have the tasks measured (målt) to achieve the goals.

Some suggestions:

“If I can’t measure it, I can’t manage it.”

"Goals are dreams with deadlines."

"You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals."
