How to Create a Goal Chart
Many times, people set goals and then forget about them, or they put their goals on the back-burner to accomplish other, more pressing issues. To keep up with your goals, consider writing them down and referring to them on a daily basis. A goal chart provides a clear overview of your goals, and when placed in an area where you work, can keep you on track toward reaching those goals.

Write down the main goal you want to achieve on a piece of paper. For example, your goal could be to create a budget for your organization's marketing department. Now, list all of the sub-goals that you need to complete to reach that goal. For example, you might need to hold a major meeting with the marketing department, figure out what the marketing department already spends money on, analyze how money is currently being spent, etc. For each goal, write down a target completion date.

Label the top of your poster with the main goal in large words with a marker. Write the target completion date to the right of the goal in parenthesis with a pen. Place the ruler directly underneath the main goal and draw a line under the main goal with marker.

Measure down one inch with the ruler on the left side of the page and create a half-inch square check box. To the right of the check box, write down your first sub-goal in pen, and write the sub-goals target completion dates in parenthesis. Measure a half inch between each goal, and continue writing out all of the sub-goals of your main goal.
