What is your GOAL?
Brainstorm:
a short-term goal (a goal that can be achieved quickly)
And
a long-term goal (a goal that will take time to complete).
What can I do to achieve it?
List some things that you will do in order to achieve both your long-term goal and short-term goal.

Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.
To set a specific goal you must answer the six “W”
*Who: Who is involved? *What: What do I want to accomplish? *Where: Identify a location. *When: Establish a time frame. *Which: Identify requirements and constraints. *Why: Specific reasons for accomplishing the goal.
EXAMPLE: General goal “Get in shape.” Specific goal “Join a health club and
workout 3 days a week.”
M
Measurable - Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the achievement of each goal you set.
Example: Goal= increasing my math mark from a
55% to 70% by final report card
