I am trying to do this

enter image description here

Using this code. It does not look good and also table tends to float and sometimes need to be broken. How can I do it in a better way? Here is my code:

        \documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone}

    \begin{document}
    \begin{table}[]
        \begin{tabular}{llllll}
            & Nearly &  & Sometimes &  & Rarely \\
            1. When I set a goal, I write it down.               &        &  &           &  &        \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4}  \cline{6-6}
            2. I describe my goal in specific, measurable terms. &        &  &           &  &        \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4}  \cline{6-6}
            3.                                                   &        &  &           &  &        \\ \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4}  \cline{6-6}
            4.                                                   &        &  &           &  &      \\  \cline{2-2} \cline{4-4}  \cline{6-6}
        \end{tabular}
    \end{table}
    \end{document}

Withtabularray and booktabs TblrLibrary:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}
\begin{tblr}{colspec={r X[2.5,l] X[c,b]  X[c,b] X[c,b]},
             rows={font=\linespread{0.84}\selectfont},
             row{1}={font=\bfseries},
             }
    &   & {Nearly\ Always} & Sometimes   & Rarely \


    

  1. &   When I set a goal, I write it down.
    
    &   &   &       \ 
    \cmidrule[lr]{3-3} \cmidrule[lr]{4-4} \cmidrule[lr]{5-5}
    2. 

  2. &   I describe my goal in specific, measurable terms.
    &   &   &       \
    
    \cmidrule[lr]{3-3} \cmidrule[lr]{4-4} \cmidrule[lr]{5-5}
    3. 

  3. &   I offten visualize my goals
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule[lr]{3-3} \cmidrule[lr]{4-4} \cmidrule[lr]{5-5}
    4. 

  4. &   My goals are achievable
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule[lr]{3-3} \cmidrule[lr]{4-4} \cmidrule[lr]{5-5}
    5. 

  5. &   I set realistic deadlines for completing my goals
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule[lr]{3-3} \cmidrule[lr]{4-4} \cmidrule[lr]{5-5}
    6. 

  6. &   \dots
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule[lr]{3-3} \cmidrule[lr]{4-4} \cmidrule[lr]{5-5}
    7. 



\end{tblr}
    \end{table}
\end{document}

With tabularx, booktabs and makecell:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{booktabs, makecell, tabularx}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\bfseries}
\renewcommand\theadgape{}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht]
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{r >{\hsize=1.6\hsize}X
                          *{3}{>{\hsize=0.8\hsize}X}
                            }
    &   &   \thead[bc]{Nearly\ Always} 
            &   \thead[bc]{Sometimes}
                &   \thead[bc]{Rarely}  \


    

  1. &   When I set a goal, I write it down.
    
    &   &   &       \ 
    \cmidrule(lr){3-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(lr){5-5}
    2. 

  2. &   I describe my goal in specific, measurable terms.
    &   &   &       \
    
    \cmidrule(lr){3-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(lr){5-5}
    3. 

  3. &   I offten visualize my goals
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule(lr){3-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(lr){5-5}
    4. 

  4. &   My goals are achievable
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule(lr){3-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(lr){5-5}
    5. 

  5. &   I set realistic deadlines for completing my goals
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule(lr){3-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(lr){5-5}
    6. 

  6. &   \dots
    &   &   &       \
    \cmidrule(lr){3-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(lr){5-5}
    7. 



\end{tabularx}
    \end{table}

Do you expect like this?

\documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{tabularx}

    \begin{document}

    \begin{table}[]



%            \begin{tabular}{llllll}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lp{5cm}lll}
&& \textbf{Nearly} \
&&\textbf{Always} & \textbf{Sometimes} & \textbf{Rarely} \


    

  1. &When I set a goal, I write it down. &\hrulefill &\hrulefill &\hrulefill\
    2. 

  2. &I describe my goal in specific, measurable terms. &\hrulefill &\hrulefill &\hrulefill\
         \end{tabularx}
     \end{table}
     \end{document}
    3.
