Goal Planning for the New Year

When you start to think about your goals for the coming year, what comes to mind?

Probably a lot of goals in different areas of your life. Some big, some small.

How do you know which goals to focus on?

This is my favorite way to narrow down my goals and know which goals to focus on.

 

You can print the FREE goal planner workbook to work through this process.

1. Brain dump all of the goals that come to mind

   Set a timer for 20 minutes, and write down all of the goals that come to mind. Just get them out of your head and on paper.

2. Decide which goals are the most important to you

   Circle or draw a star next to the goals that are the most important to you. Which goals will really make a difference or are something you truly want? 

3. Get specific

   Make your goals SMART goals by making them specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and make sure they have a timeline.

4. Narrow down

   Narrow your goals down to your top 3 goals in these categories: financial, personal, health, career, and family. Also note your #1 most important goal of the year in the box in the planner.

5. Make an action plan

   After you decide on your most important goals, you will know what to focus on and what to devote your time, attention, and effort to. When planning your months, weeks, and days look back at your top goals to know what to work on.

The best way to reach your big goals is to break them down into smaller monthly, weekly, and daily goals.

Each month, make a plan to work towards those big goals by taking small actions that lead to that big goal by the end of the year.

Breaking these big goals down into smaller action steps gives you something to work towards that is achievable. 

I’m cheering you on as you work to crush your goals in the new year!
