12. goals should be... Self-chosen You are much more likely to achieve a goal that you set for yourself than one that has been set for you

13. goals should be... Moderately difficult A goal that is too hard or too easy will decrease your motivation and won’t show you what you’re really capable of accomplishing. Use what you’ve accomplished in the past as a guide

14. goals should be... Measurable You’re more likely to keep up if you can see progress toward your goal. For example, getting an “A” on your midterm is measurable progress toward getting an “A” in the class.

15. goals should be... Realistic Winning a marathon after two weeks of training is an unrealistic goal. Use what you’ve accomplished in the past to set a reasonable goal for the future.

16. goals should be... Specific Getting an “A” in Math and a “B” in Geography is much more specific than just saying that you would like to get good grades this semester

17. goals should be... Positive Say what you do want to accomplish instead of what you don’t want to do. “I will attend all classes,” is much better than “I won’t skip any classes.”

18. goals should be... Flexible If it looks like you can’t reach your original goal, be flexible and redraw your plan

19. goals should be... Associated with a deadline When do you plan on accomplishing this goal, in a month, day, or year?
