This doc will help you create the yearly, quarterly, monthly and weekly goals to deliver you to your dreams. Keep reading to learn how to get started, or start by
table, and serve as the milestones along the path to accomplishing the larger yearly goals.
Similarly, we then break the quarterly goals down into monthly goals to really start to focus on the specifics of what needs to get done to accomplish the big stuff.
Finally, at the most granular level, you will set weekly goals. These are as granular as we will get in this doc, but you can schedule them for individual days.
On-going basis
You’re going to want to review your progress and upcoming to-dos! So there is some on-going maintenance that you can do to stay on track.
This might look something like:
Daily, review the week’s to-dos and goals
Weekly, review the month’s goal and evaluate on how fulfilling it is going
Monthly, review progress made towards quarterly goal
Quarterly, review progress made toward yearly goal
Yearly, repeat the exercise from the top!
