Why students need to write their goals

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is safe and making the most of this strike period. I am here again with another wonderful and life-changing topic that has to do with goals.

What is a goal?

A goal is simply a result that one wishes to achieve.

I'm not here to explain what goals mean. Everyone here should already know what a goal is. If you look closely at the title of this post, you will of course notice that it says "Why students should WRITE their objectives.

I could have put something more like "The Importance of Setting Goals," but instead today I want to put the emphasis on putting your goals in writing.

Many students do not write down their annual, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. I cannot stress enough the importance of putting your goals in writing.

Why you should write your goals on paper:

    It gives you more motivation: you can try it for yourself and see. When you consistently write down your goals for the next day and the next and the next day, you will be motivated to want to achieve those goals. This is most effective when you give each goal of the day a due date.

    You become organized: Assuming you write down your goals for the next day in a notebook before you go to bed at night, you will wake up with specific goals that you have set for yourself for that day, rather than engaging in random, unplanned activities.

    Breaking big goals down into simpler goals on paper will make you feel less overwhelmed by them, since you only have so many goals to accomplish each day.

    Writing your goals increases your probability of achieving them and much more: In the long run, you cannot compare the success of people who do not write their annual, monthly, weekly and daily goals with those who do and work on them. There is a big difference in their achievements.

Once your goals have been put in writing, they go from being just a dream, a thought or a fantasy to a real and feasible pursuit.

My challenge for you:

Get out a book and write down ALL the goals you want to achieve before the end of this year. Make sure they are realistic, as unrealistic goals help discourage a person.

After you do that, break down those goals by writing down what you hope to accomplish each month.

done that? Next, break down each month's goals into weeks. Write down what you hope to accomplish by the end of each week of each month.

Now write the goal that you want to achieve tomorrow with respect to the goal for the week of the month that tomorrow falls on. Be sure to separate each goal for tomorrow with timely deadlines. At the end of each day, write down the goal for the next day for the week.

We need to be aware of our goals as students. This is what separates the winners from the losers.

Thank you!
