1. What is Goal & goal setting ? and how to set goals?
Goals:They are a set of dreams with a deadline to get them, for example,
saving pocket money to buy a favourite mobile phone by a particular date.
Goal setting:It is all about finding and listing your goals and then planning on
how to achieve them.
How to Set Goals?
We can use SMART method to set goals. SMART stands for
• Specific: A specific and clear goal answers six questions. Who
is involved in the goal? What do I want to do? Where do I start?
When do I start and finish? Which means do I use? Why am I doing
this?
Not a specific goal: “I would learn to speak English.”
Specific goal: “I would learn to speak English fluently by joining
coaching classes after my school everyday, and in six months I will
take part in the inter-school debate competition.”
• Measureable: A measureable goal answers the questions
“How much?”, “How many?” and “How do I know that I have
achieved results?
Not measurable goal: “I want to be rich.”
Measurable goal: “I want to have 5 times more money than what I
have today in my hand at the end of this year.”
• Achievable : Breaking down big goals into smaller parts will
make the goal achievable.
Bigger Goal: “I want to become a teacher in my school.”
Breaking it into smaller goals:
Complete higher secondary
Complete Graduation
Complete B.Ed.
Apply for jobs in the teaching field
• Realistic: A realistic goal would be something that we want
to achieve and can work towards.
Example of unrealistic goal: “I will read my entire year’s syllabus
in one day and get good marks.”
Realistic goal: “I spend 3 hours every day of the year after school
to revise my subjects to get good marks in the exams.”
• Time bound: A SMART goal should have a timeframe by
when the goal needs to be achieved. This encourages us to take
actions to completely fulfill the goals.
Not a time bound goal: “I want to lose 10 kg someday.”
Time bound goal: “I want to lose 10kg in the next 6 months.”
2. What is Time Management?
Time management is the ability to plan and control how you spend the
hours of your day well and do all that you want to do
Four Steps for Effective Time Management
Organise
We plan our dayto-day activities.
We make a timetable that we follow
Pritortise
We make a to-do list that has all our activities and we
rank them in the order of importance
Control
We have a control over our activities and time.
We avoid time wasters like chatting on the phone,
surfing gossip sites, etc., and focus on more important
things
Track
We identify and note where we have spent our time.
This will help us analyse if we have used our time
effectively or not. It also helps us to identify time-
wasting activities
