Overview

Write down where you are, where you want to be and the date you want to get there, and this goal tracker does the rest. Each goal gets a measurable target and its own milestones, and the sheet works out your progress and whether you're on track, behind or done.

Every three months a quarterly review asks what worked, what didn't and where to focus next. When the year ends, clear the rows and set new goals for 2027.

  • Measurable goals

    Each goal has a start, a current value and a target, so progress is a number, not a feeling.

  • Status from your dates

    On track, Behind or Done is worked out from the dates you set.

  • Progress you can see

    A progress bar for every goal and a view by life area on the dashboard.

  • Quarterly check-ins

    A short review every three months keeps the year on course.

Questions

How do I track goals in Google Sheets?

Give each goal a starting value, a target and a date, then update the current value as you go. This template turns those numbers into a progress percentage, a status and a progress bar for you.

How many goals can I add?

Up to 12 goals, spread across 8 life areas, each with its own milestones.

Can I reuse it next year?

Yes. Clear the rows and set new goals whenever a new year starts.

Do I need Excel?

No. It works in free Google Sheets with a Google account, on a computer, tablet or phone. If you prefer Excel, open the .xlsx file instead. Apple Numbers can open the Excel file too.
