Remake of Unit 3 - Goals & Decisions by https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md Setting goals and making decisions that align with your priorities en-us 2022-06-01 12:56:16 UTC 2025-12-13 14:53:25 UTC hello@padlet.com The overall goal of this unit is to have you think about what you might want in the future. In order to get there, you'll have decisions to make and goals to create. During the unit, you were asked to use different strategies: you identified where you might want to be in 5, 10, or 20 years; reflected on your priorities; looked at different steps in decision-making; and created SMART goals that aligned with your priorities. brideauh https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2207476238 2022-06-01 12:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2207476238 1.

MEASURABLE: I will know I have reached this goal when I'm mentally, and physically happy, and the most content with my life by the time I'm 35.

ACHIEVABLE: I think this goal is extremely realistic, and very possible. Throughout my life, I know I am going to work on helping my mind stay strong, and finding ways to make me feel happy. So this is a journey, a journey that will never end and a journey I'm willing to take. I have everything I need to be happy, all I really need is myself, practice, and patience. 

RELEVANT: This goal has got to be one of the most significant goals to me because it is the one thing I strive for. By the time I die, I want to be able to say that I was happy, and that I learned to be happy and adknowledge the unhappy moments with a positive outlook. I want to be able to say I was free, and felt content.

TIMELY: I will achieve this goal in my later years.]]> 2022-06-02 12:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208932669 Smart Goal #2 brideauh https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208936424 SPECIFIC: I will accomplish completing 30 community service hours by the end of the school year.

MEASURABLE: When I have completed my hours in said deadline.

ACHIEVABLE: I feel this is a very realistic goal as I already have gotten 20 hours of community service hours in the span of 2 months. Gaining 10 will be nothing! For my resources, I can do chores, babysit for free, help out some family and friends, and possibly look around for some more unique ways to help out!

RELEVANT: This goal is significant to me and my life because I need 40 community service hours to graduate. Getting 30 by the end of this year puts me in a very good place, meaning I have 2 years to get 10 more, giving me so much time, less stress, and more freedom.

TIMELY: I will achieve this goal by June 20.]]> 2022-06-02 12:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208936424 Smart Goal #3 brideauh https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208943961 SPECIFIC: I want to be sucessful, and feel that I have succeeded in life.

MEASURABLE: I will have lived a sucessful life that I was proud of.

ACHIEVABLE: If I can put my mind to it, if anyone can put their mind to it, it is achievable. I want to be finacially well, have a job I love, have a family I love, and be able to provide for that family with ease. That is my definitition of sucess, and if I put my time, work and effort it, it is completely realistic.

RELEVANT: Being sucessful is the key to a great life. A life where you aren't worried about expenses, or dreading going to work because you hate your job that much. A sucessful life is an amazing life, and it takes so much stress and worry off of you. It lets me be able to say I was sucessful, and I acomplished the life I dreamed of.

TIMELY: I will know if I achieved this goal in my far later years.]]> 2022-06-02 13:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208943961 Strategies: brideauh https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208953243 I think the main strategy I used in this unit was patience, and realistic thinking/planning. I never make a big decision unless I know that I will not regret it in my later years. Completing all these assignments and projects, I've thought about this factor as well. In 10 years, even in 5 years, I will not be the same person I am today! I will have so many more priorities, and oulooks on life. So again, choosing my decisions have been thoroughly thought out by thinking about practicality. I would never make a decision I would deeply regret in my later years, expecially if it involved my future. For example, the classes I've chosen this year have been thought out, and planned months before because I've taken time to think about what I want, and what is SMART. All the classes I've taken in my opinion were great decisions, and the smartest I could've made if I want a job in nursing, or any health/dentalcare/science job for that matter. So, in my later years, this is a very great strategy to use as well. I will think about what benefits me, and what is practical in that time. Whether it's making a big purchase, or making a huge decision, I will always use logic. In conflusion, I know everyone makes bad decisions sometimes, I do it all the time! But, I am, and will continue to use logical thinking thoughout my life when I can!]]> 2022-06-02 13:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208953243 Room To Improve brideauh https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208958055 I definitely think my goal setting and decision making could both use some improvement. I'm young, and I have many years yet to grow, and learn what is best for me! To be completely honest, I hardly set goals. I hardly set goals simply because of the fact that everytime I do, I make them unreachable. This isn't the way anyone should go about goal setting, and I definitely have way too high of standards for myself. It's great to set large goals, but sometimes you just need to tone it down a notch, and keep them a bit more in reach so you can stay motivated to achieve them! I'm definitely going to take this into account, so that next time I set a goal, it's something to think about. Next, for my decision making, I definitely need to learn to be a bit less indecisive. It takes me FOREVER to make any decision. Simply because I think about all the possible things that could go wrong if I make said decision. This is such a horrible trait to obtain and honestly, it does more harm than good. I want to be able to make quick, reasonable decisions without stressing, or worrying about anything. I want it to be able to come easier, and hopefully throughout these next years, it will!]]> 2022-06-02 13:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brideauh/cz0neqnc7sqgw9md/wish/2208958055
