Goal Setting

By now you have have thought about the new year's resolutions you would like to make for yourself. In what ways would you like things to be different this year?

Think about where you stand in terms of these life areas:

  • Uni / career
  • Family
  • Social
  • Physical wellbeing
  • Emotional and spiritual wellbeing
  • Financial

Which life areas are you spending the most time on? Which life areas are you progressing well in? Which areas need more attention?

Take a look at your life right now. How much time are you devoting to each life area? Draw a pie chart of the allocation of your time to each area.

Now draw another pie chart of how you would like your time to be spent this year.

What would it look like ideally?

Which areas require more attention?

Which areas would you like to spend less time on?

SMART GOALS

To maximise our chances of meeting our goals, we can set SMART goals.

  • S Specific - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions:
    • Who: Who is involved?
    • What: What do I want to accomplish?
    • Where: Identify a location.
    • When: Establish a time frame.
    • Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
    • Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.
