How the A5 SMART goals planner turns ideas into action

First, a worked example shows what each SMART letter means in practice. Then you score eight areas of your life and trim a long brainstorm down to just three goals.

The worksheet guides you through specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound questions until your final goal is written out clearly. Your action plan splits it into 10 milestones, each with a deadline, and a first step that takes 5 minutes or less. To keep momentum, you have if-then plans for obstacles, a 31-day habit grid, a weekly progress spread and a 12-week log. Monthly review and goal completion pages help you adjust course and celebrate. Nothing is dated, so print a new worksheet for every goal and begin in any month.

Who these goal inserts are for

• Anyone using a junior discbound planner, a half letter binder or an A5 6-ring binder who wants goal pages sized to fit
• New Year planners, and anyone beginning again in any other month
• Students and professionals who want a clear route for one big goal, from the first idea to the finish
• People who enjoy checking progress every week and reviewing their goals once a month

Design and printing

• Minimal and elegant: white pages with soft blush pink accents that need very little ink
• Generous margins all around, so nothing is cropped by a home printer
• Portrait pages in A5 at 148 x 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 x 8.5 in, with print-and-cut sheets sized for A4 or US Letter
• No dates, so begin in any month and print a new worksheet for each goal
• Mirrored margins: 14 mm on the binding side, sitting left on odd pages and right on even pages, and 8 mm on the outside edge
• Lines spaced 6.5 mm or wider and text of at least 8.5 pt, easy to read and fill in on a small page
• A dashed center line and cut ticks on every print-and-cut sheet, so one cut makes two pages
• Keep it in a binder, clip it to a clipboard or have a print shop spiral bind it

• This is a digital product. Nothing physical will be shipped.
• Colors may print slightly differently than they look on screen.
• For your personal use only. Please do not share, resell or pass on the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if one does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• There are no punch marks, because each binder brand spaces its rings differently. Punch the wide inner margin with your own A5 6-hole punch, junior punch or disc punch.
