How to fill in the sheet
Write a recognizable outcome and a way to check it. “Organize this month’s documents into one folder” has an identifiable ending. Divide the goal into steps and set a review date.
How to keep it useful
Distinguish the desired result from actions within your control. At review, record progress, changes and the next step; revise the goal if it no longer matches your needs.
Write recognizable actions
“Organize” is hard to mark complete; “file the papers on the desk” has a clear ending. Leave room for unexpected tasks and review unfinished items before copying them into the next day. Remove tasks that are no longer needed.
