Visualize your goals, targets and achievements in life with this Excel
Life Target Template
Our life is short, sometimes it seems our life is just too long and we
achieve nothing, no goals, no achievements, no realizations, just a great
nothingness,
But our life is full of purpose and time we have plenty, actually if you
live 100 years, you will have about 36'500 days to live.
If you were to write a page a day, then your book would be 7.3metre thick!!
who would read it anyway so better various goals.
But we do not realize how much time this is. So I propose you in this
sheet to visualize this on a straight line, putting your life goals and
achievements next to each other.
See how it looks like, what can you do to fill the blanks (except
sleeping)
So in this sheet you will first enter your achievements and goals in life.
You can set small goals as well as big and long term ones.
Do not forget the basic rule, that human tend to overestimate what they can
do in the short term (like losing 10kg or 20lbs in 2 weeks) but human also
tend to under estimate how much they can achieve with a bit of time,
patience and will power (like creating your own company, building a house,
writing a book or two, raising children, ...). About the last one, raising
children is a tough one and needs a 20 years at least commitment...except if
you are planning trophy children (my friend did one, so I do one or two too).
Here how the first pages looks like:
In this template, you will enter the name of your goal or achievement, then a
start date (in the past for something you have done already, like your birth
for example ;-)) or today if you plan to start it now, or in the future for
targets and goals or achievements you plan for your future.
Then you will put an approximate duration in days, months and years. Be
realistic, think that if you have other commitments in life, things will
take more time than expected.
The rest is calculated for you. It will tell when your goal is supposed to
be achieved and how old you should be by then (just to put things in
perspective when you plan long term targets).
The next line is to enter a start date for the visualization of these
targets. It will have a default value which is the earliest target you have
set. You can change this.
Now you are ready to visualize. We have set 3 views in our Excel template, a monthly vertical view
to see up to 7 goals in parallel. (you can add more if you wish). A second
vertical view but with a 6 month scale to show your goals and achievement in
a shorter and more compressed form and further away in time.
Finally the last part of the goal vizualisation template has a horizontal view that shows a monthly view but quite compact
and over many years.
Here the 3 views.
Vertical Half Yearly view
This was the monthly vertical view
And finally the horizontal view
of the life goal tracking template will shows your life goals in a nice
graphical view.
This were for the 3 views.
Please use this
goal tracking template and fill your life with useful and joyful goals and
achievements.
