What it does that many goal templates don’t

Before building it, we opened the most used Notion goal templates, set goals in them, and read what their buyers wrote. These are the things we set out to do better.

Months and quarters keep count

Give a step a date and it counts toward that month and quarter. You never link a task to a month by hand.
No percentages to type

A goal’s ring fills in from the steps you tick, so you see how far along you are without doing any math.
Made for 2027, nothing to reset

Month cards run from October 2026 to December 2027. Start in any month; past months with no steps hide themselves.
Your goals first on your phone

On a phone the page stacks with your goal cards on top, and you can tick a step right in This month.

We tested it the way you’ll get it: a fresh copy, cleared examples, a new goal with its own steps, and a step moved to a past month to see it land in Catch up. We checked it at phone size too, and fixed what got in the way.

What’s inside

Everything sits on one main page. Your goals at the top, this month’s steps below them, and your year at the bottom. Open any card for the details.

My 2027 goals

One card per goal, with its life area, a ring that shows how far along it is, how many steps are done and the quarter you aim to finish it in.

A page for every goal

Write down why the goal matters to you, list its steps in date order with a tick box each, and keep a few habits that help and any notes.

This month, as a to-do list

All the steps dated this month, grouped by goal. Tick one here or on its goal page; it’s the same step. Next to it, Catch up holds open steps from past months.

This month list for October 2026, grouped by goal, with five of six steps ticked — October’s sample: five of six steps done, one still open.

Your year at a glance

A countdown to 2027 that shows how much of the year is behind you once January comes. Below it, every quarter and month gets a card with its own ring.

A check-in at the end of each month

Each month gets a page with its steps and a short review: three questions on what moved forward, what got in the way and what comes next.

Quarter pages

A focus line for each quarter of 2027, its steps and a short check-in.
Example goals

4 example goals with 32 steps to look around in. One button clears only the examples.
A Start here page

Every setup step inside your copy, with a picture of where to click.

How it works, week to week

Open a goal and add a few small steps. A new step starts with today’s date, so move it to the day you plan to do it.
Once a week, open This month and tick what you’ve done. The goal’s ring and the month card move with it.
Missed a step? It waits under Catch up until you tick it or give it a new date.
When a month ends, open its page and answer the three check-in questions.

Set it up in about five minutes

You do this once, and it’s easiest on a computer. After that, ticking off a step takes a second on your phone.

Buy it on the Notion Marketplace and add it to your workspace when Notion asks. A free Notion account is enough.
Open Start here, click Clear sample data, then Clear them. The 4 example goals and their steps go away. Anything you add yourself stays.
Under My 2027 goals, click New and add 3 to 5 goals. Give each one a life area and a quarter.
Open a goal and click New under Steps. Add small steps and move each date to the day you plan to do it.
Each week, tick the steps you’ve done in This month.
Watch the months fill in under Your year. When one ends, open its page and answer the check-in.

On your phone, add the main page to Favorites in the Notion app, so This month is always one tap away.

Is it right for you?

A good fit if

You want a few clear goals for 2027 and small steps to get there.
You often start strong in January and lose track by spring.
You want to see your progress without building formulas.
You’re new to Notion. The examples and Start here page show how it works.

Look elsewhere if

You want a vision board with pictures. This one is goals, steps and progress.
You want to plan your day hour by hour. Steps have a date, not a time.
You want charts and graphs. Progress shows as rings and counts.
You want to tick habits every day. A habit tracker fits that better.

Questions

Does it work on the free Notion plan?

Yes. It’s built from relations, rollups, formulas and one button, all on the free plan. No charts, widgets or add-ons.

How does my progress add up?

Each step has a date and a tick box. A goal’s ring counts its ticked steps. A month or quarter counts the steps dated inside it, so you never type a number.

How many goals should I set?

Three to five is a good number. Enough to cover what matters most, and few enough to move each one forward. You can add more if you like.

What’s a goal and what’s a step?

A goal is what you want done by the end of a quarter, say “Run my first half marathon” by Q2. A step is one thing you can do on a set day, like “Buy good running shoes”.

Can I start in February or later?

Yes. Month cards run through December 2027 and nothing needs resetting. Past months without steps hide themselves, so the page looks tidy whenever you begin.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Setup is easiest on a computer. In the Notion app your goal cards come first, and you can tick steps straight from This month.

I ticked a step but the month didn’t change. Why?

Check the step’s date. A step counts in the month and quarter of its date, so a step dated in another month moves that month instead.

What happens after December 2027?

The month cards stop at December 2027. Your goals, steps and check-ins stay in your copy, so you can look back on the year any time.

Where does the template go after I pay?

From the Notion Marketplace, Notion adds it to your workspace right away. From Etsy, you download a PDF with the template link, open it and click Duplicate.

For power users

How it’s put together, if you like to change things.

The databases

Database	What it holds
Goals	Your goals with their life area, quarter, why, and a ring from their steps.
Steps	Every step with its goal, date and a Done box. This one list feeds the goal pages, This month and Catch up.
Months	One page per month from October 2026 to December 2027, each with its ring, steps and check-in.
Quarters	Q1 to Q4 2027, each with a focus line, its steps and a check-in.
Year	A single 2027 row that ties months and quarters to your steps and runs the countdown.

How it works inside

Goal ring: A rollup of the Done boxes on the goal’s steps, shown as a ring and “2 of 8 steps”.
Month and quarter rings: Each one counts the steps whose date falls inside it, through the 2027 row. No step is linked to a month by hand.
Catch up: A step shows here when its date is in a past month and it isn’t done yet.
Months that hide: The Months view shows a month until it ends, and after that only if it has steps.
New steps: The Steps template fills in today’s date and the 2027 row. Add steps with New so every ring counts them.
Why no charts: The free plan allows one chart per workspace. Rings and counts work on every plan.

Turn your 2027 goals into steps

Pay once, set it up in about five minutes and add your first goal. Tick a step and watch it count.
