PaperBased.net

As the end of 2007 is just around the corner I’ve been spending some time reviewing my goals list and working on some new ones for 2008.

Being a paperbased type of person, I prefer to use a paper and pen to do this (although I do have to admit a love of the site 43Things, both for the community atmosphere and the tonnes of great goal ideas you can browse through).

Over time I have managed to find some really useful worksheets that can be printed to provide some structure to goal setting activities. Here are a few of them:

• The awesome 101 Goals in 1001 Days website has a heap of printable worksheets for brainstorming goals and putting a list  together.
• The Goal Setting Guide on Uncommon Knowledge has a good goal worksheet layout
• LIFT International has some great visually appealing goal and life plan worksheets 
• The Bloomington Public Schools website has a nice simple SMART Goals template
• Here’s another SMART Goals worksheet from Optimus Performance
• And another SMART Goals worksheet from Coachville/ExcellentCoach
• The Executive Assistant’s Toolbox has a very useful Goal Tracker template available
• The IdeaBridge Goal Tracking Template is another useful tool. Their website has a tonne of other great business-orientated templates available as well.
• A Financial Goals worksheet from Utah Sate University. There’s other financial worksheets available too.
• Here’s a Goals Worksheet for Students from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire
• For those more into using Mind Maps to plan goals, Eric Blue’s Blog has loads of great resources including a goals mind map template
