My wife and I are starting a dietary lifestyle change together. I needed a way to keep us both accountable each day of the diet.

Here's the basic concept:

• Go buy some "stars" at the Office Supply store like the ones you got at school.
• Person 1 (Joe) gets Blue Stars.
• Person 2 (Judy) gets Red Stars.
• When either person sticks to their diet/exercise, they put a star on that box for that day.
• Each day, you write in your weight.

Put the chart on your refrigerator. So it's in front of your face every time you open it.

Watch the weight come pouring off.

Ok, maybe not "pouring"...but hopefully it'll motivate you to see a sheet full of stars at the end of the month. Then simply archive it into a folder.

Hope this helps someone!

Note: I've attached an Excel sheet that can be easily changed. I wish I knew more programming to dynamically change all dates based on the beginning date...but I'm not that good. You'll need to change each Monday date and drag the changes over with the little "+" sign on the bottom right of the cell.

This form is designed to help you keep track of your progress in up to 5 objectives per month.

Initial setup:
- Fill in the appropriate month in the "month" section
- Fill in the day of the month next to the appropriate day of the week
- Fill in your objective at the top of the column (such as "work out", "clean house", or "work on blog").
- Use the "What's important" section to brainstorm which 5 objectives you choose to pursue.

Usage:
- If you worked hard on an objective, fill in the appropriate bubble completely
- If you made some progress, fill it in half way
- If you made no progress at all, leave it blank.
- After a few days, you can just visually scan the form to gain some perspective on your progress. No calculations needed.

I use most of these forms in a Family Binder for quick reference along with copies of insurance cards and kids' school, Scouts and sports schedules.

If you choose only One Goal to guide you through your work and personal life, you have a much greater chance of completing it. You can also get a lot more done if you stick to a few key tasks instead of a huge list every day.

Version 3 of my weekly planner, designed to keep track of everything that is on your mind and plan out your week. In the main column you list all the tasks you want to do for the week then tick the appropriate day you want to do them plus a time/deadline where appropriate. The second column is a mind dump for capturing any other thoughts or tasks that don't have to be done during that week.

Some solutions that this form may provide are: keeping your monthly and daily calendars cleaner, write or type the information one time per month, and simple analog frequency method. At the end of the month I evaluate what went well and what did not, keeping what I need and deleting what I do not. I hope that you may find it useful.

By the GTD definition, anything you don't decide to move on, is a SomedayMaybe. The problem with that is that the S/M is not a daily review list, while the Procrastination List must be reviewed more often than weekly, of necessity, or it will automatically become a S/M, or worse, a "never".
Also, items in S/M are things you feel comfortable not doing anything about yet, while the Procrastination List reminds of things you want to move on, while not letting them get in your way right now.

I have created it in two sizes, classic and hipster (I use both). The file formatting of the classic size below is freely based on the work of hofsanoj's Next Step List-Advanced (great template by the way).
The main two columns are "What is it" and "Why" (as in "why am I procrastinating on this", a reminder of the reasons really helps getting things moving). This template size includes a few contexts just in case my mind unfreezes and I actually make some decisions (calls, errands, at computer, WaitingFor, quadrant 1, quadrant 2, and Someday/Maybe), as well as a Date column to track how old the item is.

The hipster size below is pretty simple for lack of space, just two columns, What, and Why.
For some reason, while I am allowed to upload multiple templates, I am only allowed to upload just one preview image, so I have only added the Classic one.

I hope it is helpful to someone.

EDIT March 2014: I created this when I was still using an inkjet printer. Since I mostly use the classic size, I did not notice that the hipster template doesn't work too well with my laser printer, so I may have to resubmit it (it was created with the intent to insert 3x5 cards on the feed slot, but on my laser I have to use the paper tray instead, or they will not print right, so I am forced to use letter size page templates to align 3x5 cards correctly on my Brother laser printer).

Duplicate the two pages to make it a four page document if you want to print it in A5 using double sided booklet print.
