What are Goal Setting Tools?

It’s one thing to know about goal setting, and how it can help you, but another entirely to know how to actually set goals and stick with them. Goal setting tools are a great way to help you set goals, keep track of, and stay focused on what you’re trying to achieve.

These tools and can be informal, for example:

• A handwritten diary or journal tracking your goals and smaller daily achievements
• Using your mobile phone to set daily reminders or countdown apps for when you want to achieve certain things by a specific time
• Motivational notes and posters set around your home or work desk as friendly reminders
• Telling friends and family what you’re working towards so they can offer support
• Visualization activities including meditation, positive affirmations, and mindfulness
