By setting a goal with a time limit (by 9 pm) the Health textbook states that, " you’ve set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal." (unit 2 page 5) Now it is time to get started so that I can get to bed at a good time so that I am refreshed for school tomorrow.

" a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. (Unit 2 page 5) My goal of getting my homework done is something I am definitely able to work to all is takes is my brain, a pencil, and my calculator. I am willing to work towards this goal because this test that the homework is preparing me for can have a big effect on my grade. Also I don't want to be up late finishing the homework because the earlier that I get to bed the better I will feel when I take the test. This idea of going to bed early also makes me willing to achieve the goal.

I fully know that this can be done. The challenge is staying focused long enough to get the homework done. Also I will have to keep in mind that I want to be able to hang out with my friends during lunch and I don't want to be inside the school library instead finishing stats.

This new goal is now measurable because I know that there are a stack of packets that need to be done. As soon as the last question is answered on the last packet. That is the answer to, " How will I know when it is accomplished?" (Unit 2 page 5)

A specific goal has to answer all of the above questions. Now I will change my goal into something that is more specific.

who: me
what: finish my statistics homework
when: by 9 pm tonight
where: at my house by location doesn't really matter as long as it gets done
which: I have a a stack of packets that need the questions to be answered to them. Something that could hold me back is distraction or lack of motivation. A requirement to finish the packets is to be able to understand the material that was taught in class.
why: I want to finish the homework so that I am ready for the test that is taking place on Monday afternoon and so that I can hopefully get a good grade on it. Getting this homework done will also reduce stress during the day as I get closer to my test time. Also if I get done by 9 om then I will be able to get a good nights sleep and be ready for the day.

My new goal now sounds like: I want to finish my Statistics homework tonight by 9 pm so that I am fully prepared for the test tomorrow afternoon and so that I can get a good nights sleep.

This is an example of a weak goal because it is not specific. A goal, " must answer the six “W” questions." (Unit 2 page 4)
