Goal Setting Skills
Goal-setting is kind a of time management skill that can bring clarity to what you are trying to achieve and how you are going to achieve it. The most important part of goal-setting is that goals should be specific and challenging. If you set a goal that is too easy, it’s much easier to fall into the bad habit of procrastination. Open goals can be helpful, but only if they are challenging and something you are realistically able to accomplish (Chan, et al.)
Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals is one way to do this, although there are many others.
