Define the outcome
Replace a vague goal such as “help more” with a specific action such as “contact two local organizations this month.” Choose a target you can influence.
Turn a meaningful intention into a clear plan.
Goal Setting
Goals become more useful when you can describe the outcome, explain why it matters, and identify what to do next. A good plan gives you direction without requiring certainty about every detail.

Plan the next step
Break the outcome into tasks small enough to schedule. Put the first task on your calendar and identify any materials or information you need.
Review your progress
Once a week, compare your actions with your plan. Keep what works, revise what does not, and recognize progress that is easy to overlook.
