This document discusses goal setting and how to effectively set goals. It defines what goals are and explains the importance of setting goals. Some key points made include:
- Goals give direction, motivate achievement, and help visualize priorities and plans.
- Effective goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.
- Goals should be self-chosen, moderately difficult, written down, and flexible.
- Large goals should be broken down into smaller, action-oriented steps to stay on track.
- Setting too many goals, unrealistic goals, or goals beyond one's control can undermine effective goal setting.
