Making Your End-of-Year Goals in a Bullet Journal
If you have used a bullet journal before, you are probably already familiar with setting 
goals and creating task lists. However, if this is your first time using one, here is quick 
refresher:
Adding goals to your bullet journal is more about just having a list of things you want to 
accomplish. You also want to have specific goals that are achievable and measurable 
(think about the SMART method), and also have a list of tasks to be completed in order 
to achieve those goals.
This is one of the many benefits of using a bullet journal, and you can include end-of-
year goals when working on a bullet journal in the fall.

The Importance of Setting Goals
Why should you set goals? If you have ever had dreams or aspirations, you might find 
that seem more like far-fetched dreams instead of realistic expectations. This is why 
setting goals is so important.
When you set goals for yourself, you also have a list of tasks needed to reach those 
goals. This is where your bullet journal comes in, and will help you reach all those 
dreams you have wanted to achieve.

How to Track Goals in the Bullet Journal
This is also a good time of year to set goals for the end of the year, since you are in the 
fourth quarter when fall begins. You can use your bullet journal to create some end-of-
year goals, or things you want to complete before next year.
Choose just 2-3 big or small goals, then make sure you have a detailed task list for each 
of those goals. For example, if you are finishing a home remodel, you might include a 
list of supplies, how much it will cost, a schedule for getting the repairs done, numbers 
of contractors, and other details. 
These goals can be for anything in your life, including home, personal, and professional 
goals.
It is also a good idea to use the SMART method, which means your goals are specific, 
measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-managed.
