  1. Goals

  2. What is a Goal? • Desired results • Something to work toward • “What do you want on your tombstone?”

  3. What is a priority? • Something that is more important than anything else. • Goals determine priorities • Example: • Goal: Get into college • Priority: Good grades, extracurricular activities • Destination: Goal as Route: Priority

  4. Little know facts: • The top 3% of students in the USA have written goals • A goal not written is only a wish

  5. Keep in mind when making goals: • Be specific • Example: I will get an “A” in English 9 by the end of first quarter. • Rather than: I need to do better this year.

  6. GOALS should be written • You will see them daily and remind yourself of your promise

  7. State goals positively. What will you do? • Compare: I won’t be late for class To Contrast: I will be on time for each of my classes this week

  8. Have a time frame • Bad Example: Someday, I’d like to own a Corvette. • Good Example: By the time I’m 30 years old, I want to own a new Corvette

  9. Keep score • Check in with PowerSchool weekly • Ask your friends for help in keeping you focused

  10. Let your goals be your own, perhaps set during a momentous moment.

  11. Count the cost • What will you have to give up in order to achieve your goal? • Example: I want good grades, but I love to IM at night and don’t make time to study. • Example: I want to make the basketball team, but I have to work every Saturday when they practice.

  12. Rope Up • Get someone to help you stay on course. • Make a plan with a friend who has a similar goal.

  13. Begin with the end in mind • Focus on what you would like to be or the outcome of your goal • Example: Since I want to go to college, I will need to get at least a B in Algebra.

  14. How can you achieve your goals? • Big Rocks=Priorities • Homework, school activities, sports teams, family obligations • Little Rocks=Fun activities • IM’ing, texting, watching TV, listening to your iPod • Hanging out with friends

  15. If you do your “big rocks” first, your “little rocks” will fit! • Schedule your big rocks, then schedule the fun activities. • Bottom line: You can live a balanced life with this method.
