How to make monthly goals

Neville’s monthly goal formula is beautifully basic: a sheet of paper, the month and year, and three goals. That’s it.

Marketing analysis

This simplicity is what makes it powerful. No fancy apps. No clutter. Just three visible, handwritten targets that remind you daily where to point your energy.

Why it works

• Limits focus to three achievable priorities
• Writing by hand increases commitment
• Visual checkboxes trigger dopamine when completed
• Consistency builds momentum over months and years

Examples

• Neville’s Feb 2024 goals: projects, sales optimization, and organization
• May 2024: product updates and refreshes
• June 2024: “Book pencils down” marked completion
• Regular tracking since 2014 shows long-term growth—proof the method sticks
