Use the appropriate resources and tools: It is necessary to assess the resources and tools required to
accomplish the desired goals, as well as their availability. For example, if your goal is to score 90% in the
school board exam. Do you have the material you’ll need to study for the exams? If not, where and how
can you obtain them?
Communicate with mentors and peers: When it comes to defining realistic objectives, it is necessary to
consult with teachers, seniors, and mentors.
Create a calendar: A calendar must be created in order to track progress at regular intervals.
Work hard: It is necessary to work hard and believe in one’s dreams.
Goal Setting
Setting goals helps us understand what we want, how to get them, and how to assess our progress. To write
a goal, we must first comprehend its purpose and aim. Let's attempt to figure out how to define a goal:
Determine the aim, for example, client happiness, speeding up the delivery process, and so on.
How would the aim make a difference? For example, would it boost consumer happiness, raise demand
for a product or service, speed up the delivery process, and result in higher product loyalty and quality?
To set goals, use the term SMART. Let's look at what each letter in SMART means:
Specific
S Be Clear.
Set real deadlines using real numbers.
M Measurable
Measurable goals can be tracked, allowing you to see their progress
A Attainable
Know if your goal is attainable and work towards achieving it.
R Realistic
Avoid unnecessary stress. Make the goal realistic.
T Time-bound
Give yourself a deadline.
Lets learn about this in detail:
Specific: Goals should be clear and specific, answering questions like: Who is involved? What do I want to
accomplish? Where will this happen? When will I start and finish? Which resources or steps are needed?
Why am I pursuing this goal? For instance, I will learn classical music by attending music classes after
school every day to prepare for a music festival.
Measurable: Goals should be measurable, answering questions like: How much? How many? How will
I know when it is accomplished? For instance, I want to increase my savings tenfold by the end of this
month compared to what I have today.
Attainable: Goals should be broken down into smaller, manageable parts to make them achievable. For
instance, a larger goal of becoming a scientist can be broken down into completing high school, earning
a degree, and conducting research.
Realistic: Goals should be realistic and attainable, aligning with your abilities, resources, and circumstances.
For example, spending two hours every day after school to revise for exams is more achievable than
attempting to revise an entire year’s syllabus in one day.
Time-bound: Goals should have a specific timeframe for achievement. They should answer the question:
When will I achieve this goal?
