Goal tracker
An outcome, a date, and the next action you can do this week.

Sample layout
| Goal | Due | Next action |

| Finish statistics course | Dec 12 | Book the tutoring hour |
| Save $600 | Nov 30 | Move $50 on payday |
Sample goals. The next action is a task, not a slogan.
Fields
Goal tracker template, goals template, and notion goal template searches want a status and a date. Use Name, Due date, Status (not started, active, done, dropped), and Next action. The next action is a task you could put on the weekly planner. If you cannot name one, the goal is still a theme.
A vision board can hold the picture of the year. This page holds the dates. Do not merge them. Pictures do not have owners.
Review
Once a week, each active goal gets a next action dated inside the next seven days, or it gets marked dropped. A list of 20 active goals is a list you will not review. Five is enough for a term.
Questions
- What is the difference between a goal and a habit?
- A goal ends: a course finished, an amount saved, a draft submitted. A habit repeats. Track habits on the habit tracker and goals here.
