1. Designing Your Best MONTH Ever!
Goal-Setting Workshop
MONTH
______________
If you are not making the progress you would like to make;
and are capable of making, it is simply because
your goals are not clearly defined.
Paul J. Meyer

2. Designing Your Best MONTH Ever! – How To
In my experience motivation has only been sustained by an individual
who has written life goals with deadlines and measurements,
all put together in a parcel an individual believes in.
Peter Daniels
The Designing Your Best MONTH Ever! Goal-Setting Workshop is designed to provide the
space where you can “praise your progress” and set goals that will help you do develop the
habits that will move you in the direction of your Primary Goals for any given year. The brief
instructions for this five-part workshop are as follows:
Part One: Accomplishments
Each month, first reflect on your accomplishments and blessings from the previous
month. This exercise will provide the space where you can appreciate your progress and express
gratitude for the positive things in your life. It will also encourage you to keep moving forward!
Part Two: Monthly Goals
Next, write out a habit, in each area of life, that you will focus on developing that will
move you in the direction of your yearly goals for the upcoming year. Be sure that your habit is
specific and measurable!
Part Three: Daily Disciplines
After determining your monthly goals, write a “Today I” phrase for the habit you are
focusing on that month. Then, place an abbreviated form of the habit in your daily discipline
scorecard so that you can track your progress throughout the month.
Part Four: Sacrifices
With your daily disciplines clearly established, it is important to next write out 2–3
sacrifices you will make throughout the month. Sacrifice those things that would distract you
from completing the daily disciplines you are setting out to accomplish.
Part Five: Other Projects/Things to Do
In this final part of the workshop, simply write out any other projects, goals,
appointments and things to do that must be accomplished during the month. Be sure to also
write in the corresponding due date for each item listed!
