12 Days of Free Printables Goals for the New Year
Ah the New Year is here and even if you didn't make any resolutions I'm sure you have a few goals you would like to accomplish this year.
This is Day 9 of my Free Printables round up. And it's all about GOALS.
In the past I've made goals now and then but usually for upcoming projects rather than at the beginning of the year and rarely for anything fun. We do make a few household goals as a family but again they usually involve cleaning up something big or making a big purchase for the house (although those are kind of nice).
Below you will find a list of Goals printables from around the web. There is even one for kids. This list will probably grow in time but for now enjoy the 12.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
The acronym S.M.A.R.T stands for the words you should fashion your goals after. Each letter is a feature you should have for each goal. Sometimes the letters can stand for different words but all are designed to help you achieve those goals.
Specific – Your goals should be as specific as possible. Instead of something broad like “Take a Trip”, they should be specific such as, “Save money for a summer vacation to Southern Italy”.
Measurable – Your goals should also be measurable. Such as that Southern Italian vacation. Instead of just “save money”, try, “Save $50 a month for that Southern Italian vacation).
Achievable – Go back to the Southern Italian vacation (are we seeing a theme here?) the $50 a month is very achievable. $1000 a month may not be.
Relevant or Realistic – Is this a realistic goal? Maybe Southern France would be better. Or in the state of our finances right now Southern Canada (we can drive there).
Timely – Take the trip in the next two years (I actually think I'm going to try this). So we should be traveling to Southern Canada somewhere within the next two years.
Use this acronym when you're filling out your chosen printable from the list below.

Thanks so much for including us in your wonderful roundup Kemi!!! Love the resources you have listed here. I also really like how you include “relevant” in your definition of S.M.A.R.T Goals…that is often overlooked but so critical to insuring you are motivated to reach your goal.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for the feedback. I like to think in terms of my own goals. Is this really for me?
