Working SMART with a SMART Goals template in Microsoft Lists

How to:

1) Download the Excel file available here

2) Create a new list from Excel and upload the file you've got in the previous step

3) Follow the wizard process to create a new list. Make sure to display the Created column, so it can be used as a date reference for every new item you'll add. Customize the Excel table by assigning the following List column types:

COLUMN NAME COLUMN TYPE
Title It's the default Title column where you provide a short Goal description
PROJECT Choice, so it will be easier to move a goal to another new or previously added project
SPECIFIC Multiple lines of text
S_COLOR Single line of text
MEASURABLE Multiple lines of text
M_COLOR Single line of text
ATTAINABLE Multiple lines of text
A_COLOR Single line of text
RELEVANT Multiple lines of text
R_COLOR Single line of text
TIME-BOUND Multiple lines of text
T_COLOR Single line of text
Created It's the default creation date column

4) GROUPING: Group all the items by the PROJECT column, so that a single project can have one or more goals.

5) JSON code: Copy the JSON code available here

6) List View Formatting: Format the current view and paste the JSON code into the view formatting box (Advanced formatting mode)

7) Here is your SMART Goals Template! 😀
