If you can't specifically write down what you did and describe how it qualifies as goal directed action then you can't count it. At the end of the day it is your goal directed action that determines whether you get your goal or not so you have to be strict in assessing what goal directed action you are taking.
People who get their goals actually take some goal directed action each and every day without fail and without excuses. If you are having a really busy day that is beyond your control still take some goal directed action no matter how small. Even if your goal directed action that day is so small that the outcome is insignificant what remains significant is that you reinforced the habit of taking goal directed action daily.
In order to break the habit of taking daily goal directed action all you have to do is miss one day. That also means that to keep the habit all you have to do is take some goal directed action today. Don't think about what action you are going to take tomorrow or how long you have to keep taking this daily action just focus on taking some genuine goal directed action today and you are still in the game.
