Instead of just writing your goals on random sheets of paper, your goals worksheet is the best place for them. You can create your own worksheet and print it out. You can also find one online.  A quick google search will show you plenty of them. Once you find one you should list all of your goals on it.

Easily accessible

Your goal worksheet should be easily accessible. If you’re serious about your goals, you will want to review them several times each month. Doing that will keep them fresh in your mind. Hopefully, you will be able to accomplish the goals quicker. My goals worksheet is on my wall. I look at them every day. It’s a constant reminder that I need to stay focused.

Make updates

With a goal worksheet, you should be able to male updates on your goals periodically. If you complete something on your list, you can highlight it or put a check on it. If you are having a particular problem with a goal, you can write notes on your worksheet. Jotting down updates for your goals are very important. It’s another way to keep you motivated.

When creating or looking for a goals worksheet, make sure that your worksheet has these sections in it. It should include why the goal is important to you, what type of steps do you plan on doing to achieve it, and a deadline for your goals. Those sections on the worksheet will help you stay focused. That way you will be able to pay attention to each goal and get them done quicker.

If you seriously want to track your goals, a goals worksheet is just what you need. It allows you to list them all in one place. The worksheet is easily accessible. You can print it out or save it to Google Drive. You can make updates to it if your goal changes.  Many people have goals at the beginning of the year. Not everyone completes them. Are you a person that finishes your goals each year or do you procrastinate and wait until next year?
