It is easy to say you hope to do something. Getting it done however, can be a different story. Whether it is a short-term or long term-goal its time to work towards it. Hopefully these steps will help you in doing so.
1. Figure out what you want to do
GiphyThe first step of course is identifying what is that you are hoping to accomplish. Is it making an A on your next biology test? Or having a better GPA than you did the previous semester? What you hope to accomplish is not limited to just academics despite being in college where it seems like classes and work from it consumes your daily life. You could be hoping to go exercise more. Got to find a way to keep off the Freshmen 15 or just any unnecessary additional weight. Or maybe you're hoping to create a better balance between work and play.
2. Identify whether or not it seems achievable
Now its time to determine if your goal is achievable. Most likely if it is something you are really committed to getting done it can happen. Consider what resources you have available to you that will help you in reaching your goal. Maybe what you need to do to make better grades, is go to additional education services provided by your university to help students better understand material covered in classes.
3.Make a plan, and make it as specific as possible
You have set a goal, and you have determined that is indeed achievable. Now you must make a plan, and the more specific, the better it will be. Going off of the making goal of having a higher GPA, maybe your plan will include going to tutoring as well as designating time each day to study material covered in each of your classes. As it has been said before, life is a balancing act. So setting aside time each day to get what you need done, will reduce stress and worry about when you will get everything done.
4.Keep going
Of course there will be times where we want to give up. But, we cannot just give up. Instead, what we are struggling with should be viewed as another challenge. The challenges we face will push us, and once they have been overcome make the satisfaction of reaching our set goals even sweeter.
5.Celebrate
Celebrate. Whether you are at the end of what you have accomplished, or have only completed one step in an extensive goal that will take years to come. It is important to celebrate and reflect on the progress you have made. As well as remain expectant as to what is to come.
