There are three types of goals, all of which are important to develop. Establishing goals can be difficult. Goals must be related to your values. You will find it very difficult to pursue a goal that is not directly linked to something that is important and meaningful for you. For example, if your goal is to pursue a career in social work, but you do not believe that all people deserve the chance to better themselves, it will be difficult to succeed in accomplishing your goal.
Goals are s pecific and concrete .
Your goal must state exactly what you are going to do. It can't be some vague, hopeful wish. A goal I will stop procrastinating sounds nice, but it is not specific. A specific goal would state, I will prepare a semester calendar with due dates for all important assignments in all of my classes. Goals are measurable .
