Goal!
These last few weeks of term we have been discussing ‘goal setting’ – the importance of understanding what it is you would like to achieve, when you would like to achieve it, and how you are going to go about it.
Unfortunately for me, I have always hated setting goals – it’s just not my ‘thing’… Unfortunately for me, this has also left me floundering at times when it was important to achieve something by a set time or for a set purpose.
Today I had a goal – to finally ‘fix’ my blog avatar, and to write my new post… And I managed to do both! I also had other goals I had to achieve today, which included writing reports and making phone calls. So the first thing I did was to write myself a list of what I wanted to achieve. Now, I always know that I should write a list of things, because otherwise I tend to forget what I have to do; but, of course, I usually don’t… But because we’re working on goals I decided I had to set myself an example and actually do it! And lo and behold I have managed to achieve most of my goals for today!! I can recommend writing lists, because it feels so good when you can tick them off as you go…
You may not yet know what it is you want to be ‘when you grow up’; in fact, you may not know what you really want to do next week! And that’s okay – for now… But it is important to start thinking about your dreams for your future. What do you love doing? What are you passionate about? You can do it – you can achieve your dreams (well, within reason…). They will only stay dreams if you choose to let them.
Choose today to set yourself a goal – it may be that you want to save up for something special; or it may be you would like to improve your schooling somehow (marks, behaviour); or it may be a dream of becoming an AFL star! What is your goal? What is your dream? You can become the person you would like to be…
Dream on!

Hi it’s Lisa,
I think it is really important to set goals for the future and in our skills for life we are writing a letter to our selves for later on in our life. I wonder if I will follow all of my goals?
Hi there,
I’m from Miss W’s room. Your blog looks great! I don’t really like goal setting either, but I think when we were asked to set goals for Skills For Life, it was a good idea. It gives you something to aim for and gets you motivated.
We had to set ourselves goals during Skills For Life time. My goals were all sorts, from competing at the Commonwealth or Olympic Games in swimming ( I love swimming), to buying a house, moving out of home and getting a job.
I think you have made a good point, by saying that dreams will stay dreams if you let them.

Hi Naomi,
I also find I have to write a list and cross things off as they get done, especially during the holidays. I tend to do all the things that I can on the computer, before I do any house work so even by the end of the holidays, I still have to clean the rooms or do the dusting. A bit the same in my classroom, very messy desk but I know where everything is on the desk.
