How you will know it is done is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Anyone with a goal that has survived several months without moving, which is almost always a goal that was never broken down.
The field that decides whether it works
How you will know it is done. A goal you cannot finish is a mood, and the sheet is built around forcing that one sentence out first.
Why it is laid out this way
One goal to a sheet, deliberately. The steps table carries a date column, so a step without one looks unfinished at a glance, and the closing block asks what could stop this, which is the section people skip and then run into anyway.
What is on the sheet
5 sections, in this order: Goal; Why it matters; Done by, How I will know; Steps; What could stop this, and what I will do about it. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 14 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the goal tracker alongside 3 other forms on the productivity forms page.
