Why do we set short term goals when we know our long-term goals?*
- We set short-term goals as a means to bide our time while we wait for our long-term goals to arrive.
- Your short-term goals break down your long-term goals and will help you to achieve them in the end.
- Short term goals are not necessary because we can already envision our ideal long-term goal.
What is one acronym to keep in mind while managing your short-term and long term goals?*
- (A.I.M.) Ambitious, Inspired, Motivated
- (A.C.T.I.O.N.) Always Complete The Immediate Objective Now
- (S.M.A.R.T.) Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timebound
When building our schedules we should…*
- Set honest and realistic expectations.
- Be confident by setting high expectations of ourselves.
- Adhere to the schedule as strictly as possible and not give ourselves any leeway.

I think writing out my tasks for the day will really help.

Marking out midterms, finals, in-class essays and things didn’t feel like it had much of an impact on the more detailed planning of my day to day list of priorities, but once the days drawled nearer, it helped me stay more conscious of them and made me give myself more time in advance to prepare.

Hi
I am Godman
Writing down all my assignment on a calendar does not make really prioritized any, in fact, I choose what I think I would like to accomplish and focused on in bit until completion. Thanks

I have really learned from watching the videos on time management. I will plan all my activities to ensure I attend to each task starting with the ones that are of high priority.
