A goal setting template will act as a tool to re-enforce some sort of decision making process already in effect that you have undertaken to start achieving goals.
Often this process is started as a conscious decision to really move your life forward because you feel; stuck or have just realized that you're in a bit of a rut and want to move on.
Any motivation to put you more in control of your life and your own decision making process is inevitably a good thing, but can have a downside that it is worth being aware of.
Goal setting has become the tool of choice of the self help industry as a way of establishing specific and clear cut objectives that are able to be specifically targeted and assessed as to whether or not they are achievable, and whether or not they have been met.
There is a certain amount of false security in the process because it feels very solid, is quite black and white in its execution and seems to offer a degree of certainty in its concept of planning and execution: have goal, have plan - will deliver that might work well for robots, but human beings function differently, Certainly goal setting can help focus ideas and dreams into something more specific, and there is a lot of value in that.
Where goal setting falls down is that it gets you to externalize your motivation, and then uses that external focus as a way of forcing you to move forward, assuming you want to.
Any real motivation has got to come from within you.
A goal setting template of any sort, irrespective of its type or format may help in galvanizing you into action, but there's a danger it re-enforces the belief that you need to look outside yourself for motivation to do things- you don't, you need to look within, and keep looking, whatever else you do.
