Anual Goal Setting [Freebie]

At the end of a year I usually take some time for setting goals and thinking about possible project for the upcoming year. I do so in 3 steps. 

Step 1: Note down goals and projects for the whole year no matter when exactly you're going to work on it.

Step 2: Now sort those goals into the four quarters. If necessary break a goal down into various steps.

Step 3: Break down your goals even further and sort them into the 12 months. I recommend doing so quarter by quarter. Mostly planning a month in detail about a year in advance will not work out. So around the beginning of March sit down to map out your goals and projects for April until June and so on.

I love to have my lists of goals handy all the time therefore they're part of my planner.

Simple Weekly Planner Template for OneNote [Freebie]

Happy New Year, everyone!

I am currently waiting for my physical 2025 planner to arrive. Unfortunately, the new year has already begun and I need/want to start planning. So I came up with a quick temporary solution: a Simple OneNote Weekly Planner Overview. 

It will probably be used for just a week or two so it's nothing fancy, just a plain weekly overview:

And this is how I created said template.

I started with arranging a couple of text boxes to get an idea regarding the dimensions. Afterwards, I took a screenshot.

I then imported said screenshot into Excel and adjusted a simple Excel table to fit the dimensions of the text boxes.

Then I added lines to the table and copied it as a picture (as printed).

Now all I had to do was paste it into the OneNote page and adjust its size. To make it easier to work with I right-clicked on the table/picture I just adjusted and set it as a background. And that's it.

Happy Planning!

Yours
