I actually do something pretty similar. I have a rough budget I use to know how much wiggle room I have each month. Then I have a spreadsheet with projections for all my savings contributions until the end of the year. I break it out by paycheck. So like, I know in September how much I'm putting into my 401k, how much I'm paying on my credit cards, etc. Now, I don't always hit what I'm aiming for, which necessitates refiguring the months after. But, just having my goals written down has allowed me to really make strides. I hope it works out well for you too ;) Monthly goals work great. I actually do something pretty similar.
