Yes—but keep the two goals distinguishable
You can use 17-Second Method for two goals at once. The practical issue is not whether the method permits it; it is whether combining targets makes the exercise clearer or more cluttered. 17-Second Method is a brief timed focus period, and two separate seventeen-second rounds are usually enough; there is no benefit in chaining rounds until the timer dominates the day.
Two goals work best when you can name the next action for each without turning the practice into an all-day management system. If the second target doubles the ritual but does not improve a decision, reduce the method rather than adding more structure.

When one combined practice makes sense
Combine the goals only when they genuinely share a higher-level direction. “Build a calmer week” might include both sleep and workload. Two unrelated outcomes usually benefit from separate notes or sessions because the obstacles, timelines and evidence are different.

A useful test is to write one line for each goal: what changes in your own behaviour this week? If the answer is vague, the method is probably bundling desires without producing a plan.
A method-specific way to organise it
With 17-Second Method, two separate seventeen-second rounds are usually enough; there is no benefit in chaining rounds until the timer dominates the day. Use 17/68 Second Timer as an organiser if it helps, but do not let separate trackers, streaks or counts create twice the checking.
The simplest structure is often goal A, short practice, stop; goal B, short practice, stop. You can also alternate days if simultaneous work feels mentally noisy.
Example
One round on sending applications and a second on a savings habit, followed by one action for each. The important feature is that the actions remain separate even if both goals matter. That prevents success in one area from being treated as a “sign” about the other.
What to measure
Measure whether the brief focus clarifies a next action or shifts attention usefully. For two goals, use two small measures rather than one vague feeling of alignment. A career goal might use applications sent; a savings goal might use money transferred. The measures do not have to prove the manifestation theory. They simply tell you whether the practice is helping you function.
Avoid ritual inflation
Two goals can quietly turn a short method into double repetitions, double imagery or double checking. Decide the maximum time before starting. When the limit is reached, both sessions are finished even if one feels less satisfying.

If a goal needs urgent action, prioritise the action. The manifestation exercise should not consume the time required to make the call, send the form, study, rest or have the conversation.
Why the timer makes load easy to see
The advantage of a seventeen-second format is that two goals do not need a complicated system. Give each one a single round at a planned time, then move directly to action. If you find yourself doing four rounds for goal A, four for goal B and extra “repair” rounds later, the practice has expanded beyond the question you were trying to answer.
Keep a tiny log: goal, one sentence of focus, next action. A job-search round might end with sending an application; a savings round might end with moving money. The two goals are being supported because they produce two different behaviours, not because both occupied the timer.
Use 17/68 Second Timer as a boundary, not a scorecard
For this exact question—Can you do 17-Second Method for two goals at once?—the tool is most useful when it records a decision or structures one short session. Do not use it to chase perfect streaks, eliminate doubt or turn completion into proof that the method is working. Write the relevant action beside the exercise, then leave the tool closed until the next planned review.
Bottom line
Yes, you can do 17-Second Method for two goals at once. Keep the goals distinct, cap the workload, connect each to its own evidence and next action, and simplify if the technique starts taking more attention than the goals themselves.
