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, link it to if-then plans, and when you run into difficulties, you first check commitment, scope, and feedback before forcing yourself to push through.
