Here is the template for the Goals checklist. I use a slightly different system; I give myself a score for activities. For example each hour of work on old projects is worth one. Three hours is worth three. The 5 minute call to Mom and Dad while driving is worth one, the hour phone call when they are up and alert is worth more (and not just for points on the spreadsheet).
I have 2 sections that are 15 minutes for today and 15 minutes for tomorrow. These are from my mom who always told me to take 15 minutes to finish things today (don’t leave those little things undone – they just pile up. In the GTD world these would be any 2 minute or less items like mail sorting, etc.) and 15 minutes to get ready for tomorrow (I organize my gym bag, make coffee for the autostart pot, make lunch, etc.).
Note to those who have been here before – the template now will take you to the actual Google Spreadsheet…I am just sharing a goal template (whereas previously I linked to a screenshot of the template I used).
