So, here’s the deal. This week I planned to write all about setting goals and making plans to reach those goals. The trouble is, I’ve been too busy enjoying my family {a two-year old who is discovering rock ‘n roll and a seven-week old sweetie who needs someone to watch him smile and coo!} to write some long, meaningful post about setting and reaching goals.
I did, however, put together this chart to track my own goals. It’s always helpful to me to see my goals and to-do list in writing.
I thought you might like your own copy, so help yourself by downloading the free printable Goal Worksheet. It features my six areas of focus, but if you don’t need all six, just print it out on cardstock and cut out the ones you want to use.
Your goals should be something big to accomplish in a given time frame. The actions are the things you need to do to reach your goal. I only leave room for three actions so you can focus yourself. I tend to make a mile-long list of things to do if I’m not constrained.
Here’s a quick sample of how this works:
Goal: Run a 5k in June
Action: Find a training program to follow
Action: Run at least three days a week
Action: Sign up for a local 5K race
One last tip before I go snuggle my baby boy…take your actions and add them to whatever daily planner/calendar you use. It helps to schedule them into your life! If you don’t use a scheduler, post your goals some place you’ll see them regularly!
Happy 2012 to you! Make it a good one.
I’m linking up at Tatertots & Jello this week!

This is great! I just ran my 1st 5K on Dec 3rd and trained through a program called Run for God. I cannot say enough good stuff about the program. I was at the same 5K last year and told my friend’s husband who was running it that he was crazy and I could never do that. He found out about the program and brought it to our church. 30 of us took the class and ran it together. It was so awesome! The training is tremendous and very doable especially for people who have never run before. The website is runforgod.com. You should definitely check it out! My goal for completing the 5K was to do it w/o running in less than 38 mins. I did it w/ time to spare! 37:22. It was awesome! Good luck!!
What a great idea to get things in order in all aspects if your life! thank you for sharing and good luck with your 5k!!
