According to scientific research<\/a>, people who make specific plans for when and where they will achieve their goals are more likely to follow through. (Photo by Sarah Burchard)<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that you can achieve your goals by simply writing down when, where and how you are planning to implement them? According to <\/span>94 different studies<\/span><\/a> on goal implementation, creating intentions that define how you will achieve your goals is what leads to goal success. Are you ready to slay 2025? Then break out your notebook and a pen and let\u2019s go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Assess<\/b><\/p>\n

First, define your goals for 2025. On a sheet of paper, answer the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is my deepest desire?<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Why is this important to me?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The answers will guide you in the rest of this exercise. They are your north star, the reason for all of the plans you will make this year, your theme of 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Now, answer the following questions for each category in your life listed below. For example, the answer to \u201cWhat\u2019s going well?\u201d might be: In my personal life I am doing a great job at getting my workouts in every week. Professionally, I got a new job in the field I am interested in. Socially, I see my friends on the weekends and have dinner with my family once a week. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Personal<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Professional<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Social\/family\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. What\u2019s going well?<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. What\u2019s not going well?<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. What do I want more of?<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. What do I want less of?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        With those answers in mind, take time to ponder the next two questions and write for as long as you want to answer them, not leaving any detail out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What is my ideal lifestyle? (This includes where you live, what you spend your time doing, who you spend time with, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. What kind of person do I want to be? (For example, I want to be the kind of person who gets up at 5 a.m. every morning to workout, I want to be the \u201cgo-to\u201d guy at work, I want to be a straight-A student, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Plan<\/b><\/p>\n

          Now that\u00a0there’s a clear vision for what you want, put a plan in place for achievement. Set aside ample time for this step, so you can be thorough. I\u2019m going to give you a template that you can edit to fit your needs. Use this to stay on track with your annual goals. The key is to create actionable tasks that move you closer to your goal. It\u2019s not enough to say you are going to spend more time studying. Instead, select an amount of time you will spend studying and schedule it out in your calendar. (For example,\u00a0Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday study 1-4 p.m.). Then, each week, delete the placeholder \u201cstudy\u201d with a specific homework assignment, book you need to read, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Copy and paste the following template onto a Word or Google document and save it on your desktop, or someplace you will remember to revisit it monthly. Alternatively, you could copy it down by hand in a journal or physical planner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Template Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Write down your goal(s) for each category of your life at the top.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Underneath each quarter, write down the subset of smaller goals you will accomplish to move you closer to your larger annual goal. Break these goals down by month and think of them more as tasks than abstract goals. Be specific.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Enter your monthly goals into your calendar.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          4. Choose a day of the week (mine is Saturday) to sit down and plan out the week ahead, using your monthly goals as your guide.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          5. Every day, at the end of the day, look at your calendar for the next day. I like to copy it down on a notepad, like a to-do list with time stamps. Then, as you go about your day, you can check off tasks as you complete them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
