Adjusting to Suddenly Reduced Income

Worksheet 2. Reassessing Targets for your Money, Time and Energy as a Result of Income Loss

DIRECTIONS: Write down the individual high priority goals that you had before the income loss in the appropriate Prior Goal section. Do not consult with others. Under the Reassessment column indicate whether you will need to postpone it, continue it, or adjust it. Then, under the Evaluation column, ask yourself, "What will happen if I can't achieve the goal in the next six months?" Write one of the following answers or one that expresses your situation more accurately: a) nothing, b) it's highly important and the world will fall apart, or c) I need to keep working on it, but it needs to be adjusted for now. Finally, in the Current Goal column, identify and write down a new or adjusted goal that you can achieve in the next several months.
