Dreams are your vision – your “wish list”
Maintain a balance in your dreams (e.g. education, sport, family friends and work

Dreams without a plan are just that - dreams
How do we turn them into reality?
Turning Dreams into GoalsGoals are dreams that you work hard to reach
Why set goals?
To give us motivation To help us make plans for the future To provide direction To provide a sense of achievement and success

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals” - Anonymous
Overcoming Roadblocks
Stop … and chill out and relax for a bit
Think ... Of all your choices
the first one isn’t necessarily the best one
Anticipate … will your choice help or hurt you achieve your goal?
Respond ... Select the best solution – the one that helps you achieve your goal!
Roadblocks Potential Solutions
Money/funding Sponsorship/part-time job/fundraising

The relationship between Long term and Short term goals
Short term goals are the small steps you take before reaching your final destination. (Your Long term goal.)
They are the stops on the way
Daily Goals Make daily goals Specific how much time you’ll spend studying, the amount of an assignment you’ll get done, the grade you want to achieve on your current assignment
Eg’s Do 30 mins practising maths problems a week Get an A for my English Assignment Get started on the first part of my science project 20 mins Basketball shooting a week
The Importance of Goals
The Value of striving for something, even if you are not successful
The feeling of worth
Self Esteem when you succeed
If you dream something, you are more passionate about it
An Effective Goal should be
Clear and Understandable
Be clear about what you want. Avoid statements or promises.
Possible
Goals should be sufficiently challenging yet sill wihtin reach; something you can do and really want to do. Easy goals may be less rewardingImpossible goals lead to disappointment and self doubt
Controllable
You are the only person whose behaviour you can change.Goals involving others need their permission or active participation
Effective Goals continued
MeasurableSet dimensions for your goalHow long will you allow?When will you complete what you set out to do?Do you need to specify an amount of time or some prior conditions to be met?
StraightforwardYou want what you want!Avoid using either/or. If you include alternatives you may end up achieving nothing

Time Management Learn to put priorities on your tasks and your time. Rank the things you want to do, from the most
important to least important.
Focus on the things that need attention NOW. Don’t dwell on past failures or future problems
Do one thing at a time
Divide large tasks into smaller parts and tackle these one at a time
Be sure to include time for recreation and relaxation every day
Work at a comfortable pace. “More haste , less speed” is a good maxim.
Be flexible with your time schedule. Try to keep some time free each day to cope with the unexpected
Use a diary, or a large calendar with plenty of space for noting down specific tasks, of have some other way of writing down your schedule and commitments
Review your important goals for each day and each week. Revise them if you need to
Don’t feel you have to get everything done TODAY. Spread your commitments over a period of time
