Learning Objective
I can create a plan with steps to reach a goal.
Key Concepts
A goal is some objective you'd like to reach, and setting a meaningful goal increases your motivation and helps you get results.
Breaking your goal down into manageable chunks will make it more doable, and each mini-goal should be specific and measurable so you know you're making progress.
The acronym SMART can help you remember the qualities of a good goal: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.
