Notion for Productivity: Goal Planner Template
The Goal Planner Database
The goal planner table shows a category and sub category dropdown menu to organize goals by subject. Each goal has a difficulty drop down as well with three options:
High: a goal has prerequisite steps the user has little to know experience with, or there is a lot of knowledge barrier that must be overcome.
Medium: a goal has prerequisite steps the user has moderate experience with, or there is only some knowledge barriers that must be overcome.
Low: a goal has prerequisite steps the user has great confidence to complete, and there is little to no knowledge barriers that must be overcome.
The Goal Planner Properties
Each goal includes a start date, predicted timespan selection, and formula that calculates the desired end date for the goal.
Insert new Timespan options as:
Number (#) + ‘days’ or '‘weeks’ or ‘months’ or ‘years’ or ‘quarters’.
The desired end formula
dateAdd(prop("Start"), toNumber(replace(prop("Timespan"), "[A-z]", "")), replaceAll(prop("Timespan"), "[ 0-9]", ""))
The Keys To Success For Each Goal
Each goal page has an option to click a new template called New Goal. A checklist will appear as a Keys to Success database. The database includes:
Difficulty: options from high-low.
Impact: Impact indicates how vital this step is to the final goal.
Investment: how much money are you willing to invest into this step. All investments will be calculated into a sum of investments found in every parent goal entry.
Desired Outcome: what is the ideal outcome upon completing this step? How will this push you toward completion of the parent goal?
Done checkbox: as checkboxes are ticked, the parent goal will calculate a percentage to completion.
