New Year Resolution Checklist Template

Unlock your best year yet with a clear, step-by-step goals checklist designed for action and accountability.

What you’ll get

This ready-to-use checklist template is built to help you reflect, set meaningful goals, and track progress throughout the year.
Inside you’ll find:

  • A full reflection section, to review last year’s wins, lessons, and “what to stop/continue” habits
  • A detailed goal-setting checklist, covering key areas like health, career, finances, relationships, personal growth, and lifestyle
  • An action plan breakdown, so each goal is turned into manageable steps
  • A monthly check-in framework, helping you track progress, capture wins & challenges, and adjust as needed
  • A motivational bonus: prompts to craft your “why”, pick rewards, and stay accountable
  • End-of-year reflection checklist to wrap up and prepare for next year

Why this template works

  • Simplicity meets structure: All key resolutions and actions laid out in a clean checklist form — easy to follow, easy to tick off.
  • Goal-focused and measurable: Encourages SMART-style resolution setting (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) so your goals don’t remain vague wishes.
  • Built for consistency: The monthly check-in keeps momentum alive — you’re not just setting goals once, but actively tracking and adapting.
  • Motivation + accountability built in: With prompts for “why”, rewards, and review, you’ll stay engaged instead of letting your resolutions fade.
  • End-to-end planning: From reflection of the past year to plotting goals for the coming year and finally reflecting at year’s end — it’s a full cycle.

How to use

  1. Download and print the checklist or use it digitally (in your note-app or planner).
  2. Start with the reflection section — an honest evaluation makes your next step stronger.
  3. Define 3-6 major resolutions across your life areas using the checklist.
  4. Break each into actionable steps, assign start & target dates, and pick milestones.
  5. Schedule monthly reviews: at the end of each month, tick off the check-in items — what worked, what didn’t, what’s next.
  6. Use the motivation prompts to stay aligned with why you’re doing this and celebrate the wins.
  7. At the end of the year, revisit the final section to capture your growth, lessons learned, and set up for next year.
