Talk Time
There’s a social theme to this week’s Talk Time:
I can set some goals for the year ahead and understand how I can achieve them.
The start of a new academic year brings new beginnings and opportunities. Setting goals can have many benefits such as giving direction to figure out what you want, stay accountable and motivated. The types of goals you might consider setting could be related to your learning in school, something to work on at home, or taking up a new skill/hobby outside of school.
Here are some top tips to help get you started on setting some achievable goals:
- Reflect on the past year with a grown up at home and create a wish list. Are there any goals you’d like to continue, update, stop or start?
- Start by setting small and achievable weekly goals.
- Tell your friends and family about your goals.
- Plan for any obstacles to help keep you motivated.
- Reward yourself at each step.
