5 Tips to Setting Goals That You’ll Actually Achieve (Free Printable Included)

  1. Emma and JW says:

    I love your tip about letting others know about your goals. Have you read Gretchen Rubin’s book Better Than Before? It’s about habit formation and I’m definitely one who needs external accountability when I’m forming habits/sticking to goals, so keeping others in the loop is a must for me!

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      No, I haven’t heard of that book. I’ll have to add it to my reading list. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Great goals and great advice. I’m a realy goals girl and I think you’ve got it spot on when it comes to setting yours. Good luck.

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      Thanks Wendy! I use to not be a goal setting kind of person until a couple of years ago and now I’m obsessed.

  3. Karin Rambo says:

    I keep my goals inside my journal because I journal every day. Every time I open to a new page I see them there and am reminded of them. 🙂

      I do the same thing, Karin. Every time I review my to-do list or write a note I see them. Good job! 🙂

  4. Burgh Brides says:

    this is really helpful! i have goals but i never go to the trouble of writing them down or keeping them visible. i think this will be the push forward that i need to actually start doing things like that!

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      Yes, I was the same way! The goal tracker will really help you, not only see it often but stay accountable as well.

  5. Olivia Muller says:

      Thanks Olivia! I hope the Goal Tracker printable helps as well. It’ll keep you focused and on track.

  6. Cassie says:

    This is so very helpful. Thank you for sharing this. I really struggle with sticking with goals – especially long term ones. This list is definitely something I will come back to

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      Long term goals are hard to stick to because they seem ssooo far away. That’s why action goals are so important – they help keep your eye on the prize!

  7. Danielle says:

    I love the part about telling other people! It seriously is so helpful and makes you feel so much more accountable! I also love what you said about creating an end date. I have never really done that before and I think that would be so super helpful!

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      I didn’t know how helpful setting end date would be until I started to do it myself!

  8. Mary Bacher says:

    I would love to be in your ‘Newly Married’ class. That sounds amazing. I wish my parish would do that for us sweet newlyweds. It’s great you’re reaching others about the goodness of marriage 🙂

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      Tomorrow is our first real class and I’m excited to see what’s in store for us!

      Thanks KP! Hopefully the printable helps you out.

  10. I agree with these helpful tips, action steps are so important in reaching goals! I also like the tip to keep your goals written down in a place you’ll see, that way you can’t hide from them!

      Thanks Laura. If I don’t see something, 99% of the time I’ll forget about it. Writing it down and placing it somewhere to be seen keeps me accountable.

  11. Caroline Murphy says:

    I needed this! Recently I have been getting into these printables. I think writing it down and having it somewhere visible daily helps.

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      I literally have a binder that I carry about with me that is filled with printables. I’m old school and like to write everything down.

  12. Having action steps is so important!

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      Amen, Chelsea. I think they are the most important part of goal achievement.

  13. gradybird says:

    Yes! Yes! Yes! These are so key – I am especially an “out of sight, out of mind” person so I’m very conscious about making sure my goals are visible and present! I have some goals for work that I have literally in my line of sight 100% of the time in my office, and I have a visual of my blogging goals directly to my right. It is SO helpful for me to have those surrounding me and keeping me on track!

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      I love it! I’m so glad you agree. Hopefully the goal tracker free printable will help you achieve your goals faster!

  14. Yes! Downloaded that printable because I know I have tons of goals I need to achieve this year.

    • Swwweettt! Can’t wait to hear how it helps you, Adriana! Keep me posted.

    • Amanda Shuman says:

      Yay-I love it! Keep me updated on how it goes.

  15. Love! I’ll be using this for the near future of going forward in education.
