Week #6 | Goals #5 - Writing Goals - Setting Goals

Setting Your Own Goals:

  • Answer the questions below on a separate page.
  • Write down as many of these goals as you can think of.
  • You will be writing your long-term, medium-term, and short-term goals.
  • Don’t minimize the size of your goals by being to self-critical. That’s an order!
  1. What are your lifetime goals from the perspective of how you see your life now? A lifetime goal might be: I will learn ways to strengthen my family ties. A good way of stating lifetime goals is to ask yourself, how do I want to be remembered when I’m gone?
  2. What would you like to accomplish during the next five years? For example: I will finish the Accounting Certificate in two years.
  3. What are your six-month goals? An example of a short-term goal such as this is, I will pay off my Master Card bill by December 15th.
