Most of us have goals we want to achieve, but sometimes we lose sight of them. It is easier to keep on track when you have clear goals and keep them in sight. Here are nine ways to set goals and make sure you stick with them.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Stay organized<\/h3>\n

Organizing your goals will make them much easier to achieve. Keep calendars, to-do lists or other personal organizational tools within view.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Make your goals realistic<\/h3>\n

Ambition is a good thing, but sometimes having overly ambitious goals hinders your ability to complete them.\u00a0Setting goals that are achievable makes them that much easier to reach and helps\u00a0motivate you to work towards them.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Write them down<\/h3>\n

The best way to make goals stick in your subconscious is to write them down. It makes the goals more concrete, triggering your brain to complete them.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Use campus resources<\/h3>\n

5.\u00a0 Reward yourself<\/h3>\n

Small reinforcements will encourage you to stick with your goals and keep going. You could go out for coffee, watch a movie, relax in a park or visit a friend, to name a few.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Keep making more goals<\/h3>\n

Once you accomplish a goal and feel you have a good handle on it, add another one. This will encourage you to maintain your good habits and push yourself further.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Practice self-care<\/h3>\n

Remember to make yourself a priority. Take time off when you need it and don\u2019t feel guilty for treating yourself. Balance helps you stay focused.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Change the pace<\/h3>\n

Make sure to have a good mix of short and\u00a0long\u00a0<\/span>term goals.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Involve your friends<\/h3>\n

Setting goals with your friends can help you stay motivated as you work together to reach them.\u00a0Friends are also a good source of encouragement for the days when tasks seem\u00a0insurmountable.<\/p>\n

Whatever way you choose to set\u00a0and achieve your goals,\u00a0the process of doing it makes you mindful and engaged with what you want.\u00a0That is never a wasted exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
