Staying on Track 1 · Setting Goals That Hold Up
5 learning units · ~17 minutes
How to set goals that hold up: specific and challenging instead of “I’ll do my best.” You break a semester goal down into checkpoints and weekly actions, connect it with if-then plans, and, when difficulties arise, first check commitment, scope, and feedback before forcing yourself to push through. At the start of the course, you use this to set the goal you will stay on track with.
