I personally love setting goals for myself: both short and long-term. Setting goals helps me manage priorities and gives me something to work towards. I write down each goal in detail and put it somewhere I will see every day. Most times, I use the “Stickies” app on my Mac laptop to write down my goals.
Some of my short term goals are:
- Get my bachelor’s degree
- Find a part-time job that is relevant to my future career
- Volunteer at least 100 hours
- Travel to at least one new state
Some of my long term goals are:
- Graduate with a PhD
- Go backpacking in Europe
- Buy a house with a backyard
- Be a blogger
For me, writing down my goals and reminding myself of them each day helps me stay focused and determined. I envision my future life, full of happiness and love. Picturing my goals motivates me to work hard now for a successful and bright future.
