When you start the application for the first time you'll see a default "My Collection" folder at the top. You can rename that if you want, or just continue for now.
#### 2. Add a progress tracker

Within your collection, you’ll create your first tracker. Click on “Add Tracker”. For instance, if your collection is *“Personal Health”*, your tracker might be *“Body Weight”*.
#### 3. Set a goal

Once you know what you're tracking, add a goal for what you want to achieve with it. Click on *"Set a goal"* and choose a goal that makes sense for you.
#### 4. Capture some data

A data point is a single entry that reflects progress. It's like a checkpoint on your goal journey. You can add a new data point whenever you have an update, for example, entering your weight every weekday morning. Click on *“Add Data Point”*, enter the current value, and save it. Regular data points help Telemetry make accurate predictions.
#### 5. Telemetry performs magic

Once you've added a few data points, Telemetry begins its magic. It uses this information to predict when you will reach your goal. You'll see a dynamic estimate that updates with each new data point, giving you a glimpse into your future achievement.
