FAQ
How do I plan goals with a mind map?
Put the goal in the center. Under Long-term Goals add your 5-year vision and yearly milestones; under Short-term Goals list monthly targets and weekly tasks. Finish with concrete Action Steps (first step, deadlines) and the Habits & Tracking branch that keeps you consistent.
What is the difference between a goal map and a to-do list?
A to-do list shows what to do next; a goal map shows why — the vision and targets that make each task meaningful. Link each weekly task back to a milestone so priorities stay visible.
Can I use this template for a yearly review?
Yes. Keep the same structure every year: vision, targets, steps, habits. Export the map as PNG or PDF and compare year over year to see what moved and what stalled.
