My wife and I are getting back to setting goals for the year. The following plan has worked for us. We haven’t done this for the last four years and, in my opinion, have not achieved what we could have in all areas of our relationship and business. We answer this question: This year will be the best year of our lives because...
Then we have one major goal, like paying down x amount of the mortgage.
Then goals under these headings:
- TRAVEL (places to visit)
- WORKOUT (Health Goals)
- WORK (Income and work-specific goals)
- PERSONAL (Things we want to do. Could be around the house or a new skill etc)
We then have a monthly check-in to see how we are tracking.
The key here is it keeps us on track and on the same page which is very important. And it shows us what we did during the year. Years can go by quickly, and you sometimes wonder what you did. Having check marks next to things clearly shows you’ve done that year.
You might throw in a word for a year, too. I think
@noahkagan has a great way to plan goalshere.
