I just did a search of my computer files and I started using this template in 2018. One of my 2018 goals was to visit Palestine: Haifa, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus & Jerusalem which I did. The Slovakia Košice Peace Half Marathon was on my list every year 2019-2024 and I finally ran it this past October. I was a Bernie Sanders delegate in 2016 and went to the Iowa Caucuses to see how they work in 2020. A lot of my goals center around running, politics & travel.
One of my 2025 goals is to do the Lupine Trans European Race from London, UK to Tallinn, Estonia. I just purchased a pair of RedWing Boots which has been on the spreadsheet for multiple years.
The spreadsheet has been a godsend for identifying and achieving meaningful goals. 🙏🏻
It’s been an amazing year following your Substack. Your article is timely and serendipitous. Appreciate everything. Have a happy and prosperous New Year 2025!
Thanks for the template Chris! I'm taking goal-setting seriously this year because I need to get myself out of this self-imposed rut I've been in (for far too long).
Thank you for this - I love how you folded in the importance of iteration in all these things... it begs the question why goals cannot be iterative as well - or do you think there is a benefit to laying a big stake in the ground for some point in the future?
