Don't overthink it. Just jot down whatever pops in your head. You don't need to share this with anyone, so even if the goal feels personal or embarrassing or grand, write it down.


Here are some categories to consider:

-health/exercise/eating habits

-family/friends/relationships

-finances/money/saving

-house projects

-hobbies/interests

  • Why do you want to reach this goal?
