7. What are goals?
 Goals take planning and work.
 There are two types of goals:
 Firstly, long term goals which are goals that you plan to achieve over an extended
period of time. E.g. writing a book
 Short term goals which are goals that you can reach in short period of time like
in two week or short period. E.g. writing and essay.

8. Why have goals:
1.Goals Propel You Forward
Having a goal written down with a set date for accomplishment gives you something
to plan and work for. A written goal is an external representation of your inner
desires; its a constant reminder of what you need to accomplish.

 2. Goals Help Us Believe In Ourselves
Setting goals for yourself is a way to fuel your ambition. Goal setting isn’t just
about creating a plan for your life and holding yourself accountable, its also about
giving us the inspiration necessary to aim for things we never thought possible.

 3. Goals Hold You Accountable For Failure
If you don’t write down concrete goals and give yourself a timeline for
achievement, how can you look back and re-evaluate your path if you fail

4. Goals Tell You What You Truly Want
There are certainly times where we set goals that don’t really reflect what we
want. Sometimes we think we need more money, when really we need a change of
environment, or someone to love. Sometimes we think we want more free time, but
what we really want is work that we can be truly passionate about. Sometimes we
think we want to be alone, but really we need to be around more positive people

14. Measurable
•All goals
should have a
way to evaluate
whether or not
there were
accomplished.

15. Attainable
•Goals must be
something that
you are capable
of reaching.
•E.g. I can get
80% if I put
more effort.

16. Realistic
Goals must be
important to
you and your
lifestyle.

17. Timely
Make sure you
have time bound
goals in a form
of a deadline so
that you goals
are not
unending.
