Big goals fail when they stay big. This worksheet breaks a yearly ambition into quarterly targets and the weekly actions that get you there — so progress is something you do every week, not something you hope for.
Set one north star. Write a single, specific goal for the year with a number attached. One clear goal beats five competing ones.
Break it into quarters. Split the yearly goal into four quarterly milestones so you can tell mid-year whether you're on pace.
Define weekly actions. For the current quarter, list the few weekly actions that actually move the needle, and ignore the rest.
Review every Friday. End each week by checking progress against the quarterly target and adjusting next week's actions.

Multiple top-priority goals compete for the same limited time and end up half-done. A single north star, supported by a few weekly actions, concentrates your effort where it compounds fastest.
