Daily Goals List Printable
This week, instead of working on a project, I rested and took time to organize my life a little better. I’ve been searching for a system that works for me, and something that I will use. Earlier this year I put together my Home Management Binder.
I absolutely LOVE this cute weekly planner sheet I had picked (below), but I just don’t enjoy writing out the same thing in my planner over and over again.
Week at a Glance from Mommy Tracked (I LOVE the color and the scalloped edges!!):
I haven’t used any of the daily dockets either. I want something I can combine my goals for the week at my schedule for the week in one, streamlined page. This is what I came up with!!
I created this in Word. I just made 7 columns and typed in my daily morning routine, schedule, and goals for the week. I blog on Mondays about what goals I have for each week (they are in bold on my daily goals list.
What’s so great about this is:
- it’s simple!
- it’s only on one page
- it includes my schedule AND goals
- I can cross things off my list!!
Here it is as a pdf
(I tried for awhile to research how to make an editable pdf, but was too tired and didn’t succeed. Anyone know??)

Girl, you stay busy! I can see how you benefit from this schedule. I’ve been trying think of one that works for me too. I’ve typed a schedule only to never look at it again. I do want to organize my time so that I can be more productive. Thanks for inspiring.

I love writing and blogging….I’d be happy to guest post for Romance on a Dime. Just let me know.

I know what you mean – my last two schedule systems I never looked at. But since this is as simple as one sheet of paper, it’s so easy to carry around and look at.
I would LOVE it if you would write a guest post for me!! I’ll be emailing you and a couple others soon about a possible schedule.
Thanks for hosting a linky party!
I am visiting from Tip Junkie.
You have a cute site.
c u soon,

You are welcome Amber. I’m so glad you are visiting and linking up!! I LOVE the way your website looks!! So classy. What theme are you using?
Thanks so much for the feature.
I appreciate it! Enjoy your day. Megan
You are welcome Megan. I’m so glad you keep coming back to link up – I always enjoy seeing what you’ve been up to!
Hi Betsy, thanks for the link up! I will be emailing you in a few days with a guest post idea. I made a fun fabric bracelet.
Have a great day!
Great! I look forward to receiving a guest post from you!! I’m so glad you are willing to share!
You and I must be on the same wave length. I just typed up a new goals/daily planner schedule this week too. I had too many sheets of paper to keep track of things. Mine isn’t nearly as fancy as yours, it’s just text, but it’s all on one sheet.
Thank you for featuring my galvanized tins Betsy! I so appreciate you for hosting this party. I might be interested in a guest post if you’d like.
Have a great week!

That’s pretty cool. Yeah, normally I have way too many sheets of paper and sticky notes that I write lists on. But I am always losing the papers. That’s why I needed to type something up and condense it to one piece of paper.
I’m so glad you come back and link up each week! I always enjoy seeing what you are working on.
I would LOVE for you to guest post for me!! I will be sending out an email soon, with a possible guest post schedule. Thanks so much!
You have such a busy schedule! It’s a great idea to include both goals and scheduling.
Jadyn @ Dutch.British.Love recently posted..Color My World // Week 3: Paint
Yes, having both my schedule (in a simple format) and goals in one place has helped me to actually look at it. It’s so easy to keep track of 1 piece of paper and carry it around. I’m loving it!
Thank you so much for the feature! Love all your organization! I need some organization inspiration!

You are welcome, Katie!! It’s always good to see you linking up project here!!
Thanks for the lovely party! Always a pleasure to be here!

Thanks Lindsay! I’m so glad you link up each week – it’s great to see what creative thing you are up to next. Coffee Filter wreath – who would have thought?
Betsy, thanks for linking up to Simply Sensational Tuesday. I love printables, too!
To answer your question if anyone knows anything about editable PDFs, I looked into it a while ago since I also love creating printables. What I found is that you can only offer editable versions if you buy an upgraded version of Adobe Acrobat (or similar competitor software). With the free version of Acrobat, you cannot offer customizable PDFs. I was totally bummed when I learned that because I wanted to make schedules for people that they could customize.
Oh well. Unless you want to shell out several hundred bucks, you’re stuck with non-editable printables.
Hopefully that will change, or maybe someone knows about a product that I haven’t heard of yet. Here’s hoping!

Thanks so much for answering my question!! (And for featuring the printable this week!) Yeah, I probably won’t pay to have editable PDFs.
Too bad.
I’m so glad you visited and commented!! Hope to see you next Tuesday.
I love your organization! Thanks for sharing your printable and linking at oopsey daisy!
