FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write SMART goals that I will achieve?
Make each goal Specific (what exactly), Measurable (how you will know), Achievable (within your capacity), Relevant (aligned with your values), and Time-bound (by when). Example: Read 12 books by December 31 by reading 20 pages daily.
How many goals should I set at once?
One to three for best focus. Research shows that people who focus on fewer goals achieve more than those who set many. Choose goals that support each other when possible.
What is the difference between goals, habits, and tasks?
A goal is the destination (lose 10 pounds). A habit is the recurring behavior that gets you there (exercise daily). A task is a one-time action that supports the habit (buy running shoes). Track all three but on different tools.
How do I review and adjust goals mid-quarter?
At the halfway point, check each milestone. If on track, continue. If behind, ask whether the timeline was realistic or whether you need to change your approach. Adjust the deadline or break the goal into smaller steps.
How do I use this worksheet with an accountability partner?
Share your completed worksheet with a trusted person. Schedule bi-weekly check-ins to review progress on milestones. Having someone ask about your goals creates external motivation that complements the internal drive.
