GOAL SETTING TIPS
Just like Franzen‘s goal was to find job using is skills in Sparkdale, you can set
goals to help yourself succeed and be happy.
Here are some tips that can help you set effective goals:
1. Goals are intentional commitments to action, not a wish
list.
"I want to get an A" lacks power. "I will work hard (How), to
earn an A," is intentional and powerful.
2. Be specific.
“Find help" is too general. "I will find 5 resources that will
help me before the end of the month" is better.
3. Share your goals with someone who cares if you reach them.
Sharing your intentions with your parents, your best friend, or your teacher
will help ensure success.
4. Write down your goals and put them where you will see them.
The more often you read your list, the more results you get.
5. Review and revise your list.
Experiment with different ways of stating your goals. Goal setting improves
with practice!
