Goal setting is a great way to get stuff done. It allows you to set your own due date and when you achieve the goal it makes you feel good and accomplished. In order to set a goal there are a few guidelines to follow however it ends up be pretty freely done. I remember these guidelines as SMART goals. In SMART the S stands for specific, so make sure you completely understand what your end goal is. The M stands for measurable, which means you have exact timelines and amounts to achieve your goal. The A stands for achievable, so make sure that your goal is reasonable in that it can be achieved in the timeline you come up with, ex: saying that you can finish three projects in 2 hours is not achievable. The R stands for relevant, is the goal relevant to your end goal, so will your goal end up affecting your final target? And the T stands for time limited which means like i've said before you must have an end date in mind. Often when people get behind on schoolwork or paperwork for jobs, they get really stressed out and overwhelmed. If this happens to you then just come down and use the “SMART” strategy. Just focus on one task at a time and give yourself a manageable amount of time to do it. For more details on this strategy go here In order for this goal setting strategies to work you have to have the motivation to and want to do it. If you are doing this because you have to, it will not work. But if you actually give this a chance i promise that once you achieve your goal you will feel so good about yourself. And this can be used with more than just school but anything, sports, music, hobbies, etc… no matter what you are doing in your life you can always use smart goals to make it better. And keep in mind that smart goals can always change. This can be called a SMARTER goal which adds evaluate and re-do. So make sure you are always evaluating goals and making new ones that are better because like everyone says “you can always better it”
If you want to create a smart goal then go here. This is a very good template for making SMART goals, just enter your email address and your good! I use this at least twice a week to set my goals, it makes it a lot easier to make them because it reminds you of what to do.

i find most of the time that if i leave something to the last minute then i can get it done in a shorter time, it may not be three major projects in two hours but it motivates me to do my work faster.

I love setting goals for myself too, it doesn’t always work out well for me but when it does it feels very rewarding
