Career and Goal Development

1. “What.” What are you going to do? 2. “When.” When are you are going to

do your “what.” You want to put the exact date, day, and time when you are going to do your action step.

3. “How much.” How long do you want to spend your time in doing your action? “How much” is also referred to as duration. For example, when you exercise, how long will you exercise for? Is it for 30 or 60 minutes? Depend on you.

How often do you want to do your action step?

Do you want to do your action based on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly plan?

For example, if you plan to exercise on a weekly schedule, then how often are you going to exercise within a week?

Another way to put “How often” is frequency, the number of times you are going to do your action step.

On the scale from 1-10, 1 being the lowest, and 10 being the highest, what is your confidence level that you are able to accomplish your action step?

For any step, your confident level should be at least a 7, because you want to make sure you can accomplish your action step.

If you cannot accomplish your action step, then how are you going to accomplish your goal?

If your confident level is below a 7, then you want to adjust or fix your action step so it would be at least a 7.

For example, if you say that you want to exercise 3 times per week, but it is too much for you, then you can change it to 2 times per week.

It will make it easier for you to accomplish your exercise routine, and then your confident level will increase.

Or if exercising 60 minutes is too long for you, and your confident level is under a 7, then you can reduce it to 30 minutes.

Even though you might take a longer time to accomplish your steps to reach your goal when you reduce your minutes or days, it is perfectly fine.

The most important thing is to accomplish your goal, and not try to rush yourself and fail, and then get discouraged.

You want a target date for your action step. Remember, it would be great to accomplish

your action step on your target date, but the target date is only there to help push your brain quicker.

You have to understand that it will be harder to accomplish your action steps on time at the beginning because it is a new thing for your brain and self, so do not get discouraged.

Just pick yourself back up after you have a fall back.

Accomplishing things on time is also a learning process that you have to build.

For example, if you have the habit of always being late to do things in the past, then it will be difficult for you to accomplish your action steps on time because your brain is not used to it yet.

However, as you take smaller steps and accomplished them, you will get used to it and your habit will get stronger, and soon, you will be able to accomplish your action steps on time.
