How do you plan your goals?

When planning goals, the first thing that I do is decide what is the main thing that I am trying to accomplish. I either make a mental list or I create a physical list either on paper or in the notes in my phone.

I figure out which goal is the most important one, and I create a timeline for accomplishing that first goal. I even set a time of day to work on goals, as in, I write my goals into my schedule so that way I have a better chance of being successful at accomplishing my goals.
