               • Set and Focus on Your Goals: Consider what you want to achieve, set that as your goal, be focused with all your
              energy and hard work to achieve your goal. For example, my goal is to become a doctor
               • Develop a Plan to Achieve Your Goals: With a plan you have a clear picture of how to get where you want to
              go, what it will take to get there, and how you’ll find the motivation to keep driving forward. So planning a list
              of activities and setting timelines to achieve your goals is very important. For example, to become a doctor I
              have to study hard and get good grades. Also after school attend coaching to clear my competitive exams to
              get into medical college.
               • Stay Loyal to Your Goals: Hard work, constant dedication will help you stay loyal to your goals.
               Achieving something never comes easy and requires a lot of struggle to make it to the milestone. For example,
              if I don't clear my entrance, I will try again next year with full dedication and hard work because I have to fulfill
              my dream of becoming a doctor.

            2.9.3. Self-Regulation

            Self-regulation is the ability to keep your emotions and your behaviour in check and think reasonably before putting
            it into action. It leads to responsible and value-driven behaviour by keeping in mind the long-term consequences
            of your uncontrolled behaviour. It has been proven through research that self-regulation in children works as an
            important predictor of their academic abilities.
            Self-regulation helps you:
               • Manage your energy levels.
               • Understand your emotions and behaviour.

               • Balance your thoughts and emotions.
               • Understand your-long term goals.
               • React in a positive way in difficult circumstances.
               • To be happier by controlling your emotions.


            2.10. TIME MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPORTANCE

            Time management is the ability to utilise your time effectively so that you are able to do the required task at an
            appropriate time. It helps you focus better on important tasks, which leads to better efficiency. It gives you a feel
            that you are never running against time. You are able to finish your work with less effort and make the most of the
            limited time you’ve got.
            Understanding the importance of time management and making it a part of your life will help you to:

               • Finish your work on time.                          • Make short-term goals.
               • Not waste time doing unwanted things.              • Measure your goals.
               • Put efforts to achieve them.

            2.10.1. Four Steps for Effective Time Management

            Manage your time wisely to be in tune with the pace of your studies and your classes in school. If you follow four steps
            for effective time management then this will help you achieve your short-term goals and long-term goals in life.
               • Organise: Systematic arrangement in your work will help you save time in looking for misplaced things. It is
              always a pleasure to work with no clutter on the desk at all times. This will help you track your data and work
              related to it in an organised manner. Some people are born with this skill and some have to put an effort to plan
              day-to-day activities to avoid last minute hassle.
