Preparing to Develop a Plan

Who, What, Where, When, Which, Why?

1 CE

"Who is involved? What do I want to accomplish? Identify a location. Establish a time frame. Identify requirements and constraints. Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal." (iBook Page 4) Make sure the goal is specific and not general!

How Much, How Many, How Will I Know When It's Accomplished?

2

Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set." (iBook Page 4)

Is It Attainable?

3

"You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps
wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out
those steps. When you list your goals you build your self image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop
the traits and personality that allow you to possess them." (iBook Page 5)

Is It Realistic?

4

"To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective
toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal
can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can
decide just how high your goal should be." (iBook Page 5)

Is It Timely?

5

"A goal should be grounded within a time frame.
With no time frame tied to it there’s no sense of urgency. Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be
accomplished." (iBook Page 6)

Personal Goal

A personal health goal I have is to drink a lot more water than I do regularly. Strengths include the fact that water is nothing but good for you, my skin will be clearer, and I will not be as nauseous or hungry all of the time due to dehydration. Needs include water and the motivation to drink water all of the time. There are really no risks.

Personal Goal (continued)

In order to do this I will bring my water bottle to school every day, fill it up before I leave home, and drink it throughout the day, filling it up as I run out. I will also drink it while doing homework. I should start to see results instantly, and my skin should start to clear up sooner than later.
