Goal Setting Worksheet

About this goal-setting worksheet

This free printable goal-setting worksheet helps you turn a vague ambition into a clear, achievable plan. There is space for two goals, and each one guides you through the parts that make goals stick: what you want to achieve, why it matters to you, the milestones along the way, the obstacles you might face, the support you will need, a target date and a reward. Print it, or save it as a PDF to complete on a device.

How to use it

1. Write your goal as a specific, measurable outcome rather than a wish.
2. Note why it matters — a strong reason keeps you going when motivation dips.
3. Break the goal into three milestones with rough dates so progress feels concrete.
4. List likely obstacles and the support you will need to overcome them.
5. Set a target date and choose a reward for reaching it.

Writing goals down makes you far more likely to achieve them, and reviewing this sheet regularly keeps your targets front of mind.
