Goal setting is a powerful motivator, the value of which has been recognized in an abundance of clinical and real-world settings

1. GOAL SETTING

2. SSA A GOAL
WITHOUT A PLAN
IS JUST A WISH

3. Definition of a GOAL
A goal is:
● A Dream
● Measurable
● Has a Time Limit
● Within your control
● In Writing

4. INTRODUCTION
Goal-A goal is a desired result that a person plans and commits
to achieve.
Goal setting is an important method for:
● Deciding what you want to achieve in your life.
Separating what's important from what's irrelevant, or a
distraction.
● Motivating yourself.
● Building your self-confidence, based on successful
achievement of goals

5. Why setting goal ?
❏ It gives you long-term vision and short-term MOTIVATION.
❏ It focuses your acquisition of knowledge, and helps you to
organize your time and your resources so that you can make the
very most of your life.
❏ It allows to measure your progress because you always have a
fixed endpoint or benchmark to compare with.
❏ By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take
pride in the achievement of those goals, and you'll see forward
progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless
grind. You will also raise your self-confidence , as you recognize
your own ability and competence in achieving the goals that
you've set.

6. Short Term Goal
● A short-term goal is something you want to do in the near
future.
● The near future can mean today, this week, this month, or
even this year. A short-term goal is something you want to
accomplish soon.
Long Term Goal
● A long term goal is that goal which takes a long time to
achieve
● Long-term goals require time and planning

7. Tips for Setting Long-Term Goals
● Work backwards. Think about what you want to achieve then
plan steps going back to what you can do right now.
● Create a picture of where you want to be in life 10 years from
now.
● Think about what you need to do in five years, in one year, and in
six months to get to your long-term goal.
● Write down what you need to do each month to achieve your
goals.
● After each monthly goal is achieved, look at your goals and
adjust them as needed.

8. SMART Goal
A useful way of making goals more powerful is to use the SMART
mnemonic. While there are plenty of variants (some of which we've
included in parenthesis), SMART usually stands for:
S – Specific (or Significant).
M – Measurable (or Meaningful).
A – Attainable (or Action-Oriented).
R – Relevant (or Rewarding).
T – Time-bound (or Trackable)

9. Key Principles of Goal Setting

10. 1. Commitment
Commitment refers to the degree to which an individual is attached to the goal
and their determination to reach it – even when faced with obstacles.
2. Clarity
Specific goals put you on a direct course. When a goal is vague, it has limited
motivational value.
3. Challenging
Goals must be challenging yet attainable. Challenging goals can improve
performance through increased self-satisfaction, and the motivation to find suitable
strategies to push our skills to the limit
4. Task Complexity
Thet overly complex tasks introduce demands that may mute goal-setting effects.
Overly complex goals that lie out of our skill level may become overwhelming and
negatively impact productivity, and motivation
5. Feedback
Goal setting is more effective in the presence of immediate feedback. Feedback –
including internal feedback – helps to determine the degree to which a goal is being
met and how you are progressing.
