Mid-term Goal Worksheet

To achieve all we desire and to progress effectively/efficiently, we choose to set goals. It is to our benefit to have Long-term, Mid-term, and Short-term goals.This worksheet will help us to clarify and quantize very specific goals for the Mid-term. By Mid-term, we’re talking in terms of months, not weeks or days.

Be as clear as possible when defining your goals and refer to this sheet every few weeks to check your progress.This worksheet will be more trombone-specific than the Long-term goals.
