If there’s something you want to achieve, either in your personal life or in your business life, I strongly encourage you to set monthly goals.
I have some FREE goal setting worksheets and tips HERE
Here’s what I do and encourage you to do each month.
Add your big goals to the top of your monthly goal sheet.
Add your big goals for the year at the top of your list. This will help you stay focused and moving toward these. I have one business goal and one personal goal at the top of my list. You may want to have a few of your big goals here. Do whatever feels right for you. I recommend no more than 5. You only want your priority goals here.
Review your goals from the month before
At the end of each month run through your goals sheet and transfer any outstanding goals. Yes, it’s nice to have every single thing on your list ticked off but it’s okay if you haven’t, in fact, if you’re consistently achieving all of your goals each month then you may want to step things up a notch. It may be a sign you’re sitting in your comfort zone rather than pushing towards your bigger goals.

Check your year goals
Now do a review of all of your yearly goals big and small. Ask yourself “What can I do this month to move me closer to achieving this goal?
For smaller goals ask, “Do I want to work on this goal, this month?”
Add these to your monthly goals sheet.
How to use your monthly goals
Now you have your monthly goals written down on your worksheet, this will form your base for your daily goals. I recommend you have them in a folding clipboard. Keep your monthly goals in front of you. Lots of my goals are related to my business and I work from home, so my goals sheet is at the side of my computer as I work.
Each day I read through my list and write down what I want to work on that day.
Following this system helps you keep on track. When you know what you’re doing each day it’s easier to stay focused rather than going off down side alleys that won’t lead you to your goal.

love your tips! I host a monthly goal link up to help keep me motivated and on top. It helps so much!
I never look back on my yearly goals to see if they align with my monthly goals. I’m glad you pointed that out from now on I think I will do that reflection when I’m setting monthly goals. Loved this post.
What a great idea Angela.
It’s a really positive habit Jazmine. It means each and every month you do move closer to achieving your yearly goals. Best wishes.
Excellent advice Wendy! Bloglovin’ this so I can keep coming back to it!
I just started making myself accountable again last month, and I love how good I feel again achieving things!
That’s brilliant to hear Hollie. Best wishes with all of your goals.
