1. Reflect on the Past School Calendar.

One of the special gifts of humans is the ability for self awareness. As humans we can think about our earlier thoughts and actions and question
if they are productive and would serve us best going forward. if there are rooms for improvement, we adopt a new way of thinking and behaving. This is how taking time to reflect helps us grow.

Here these three questions you should write on a jotter

What did I do well in the past school calendar?
What did I not do so well in the past school calendar
What will I do differently in the coming school calendar

2. Set process goals for the coming school calendar.
This point tie well with Point #1.

You want to set goals that really work, one way to do that is to set process goals for the next school calendar instead of just having performance goals,
because process goals will help you be more effective.

What’s the difference between process goals and performance goals?

Performance goals are objects or destinations you intend to achieve while process goals are what you need to do reach these goals.

Process goals means the quality and quantity of input that can turn into our desirable output. Ask yourself what variables will affect your input.

where is/are the location(s) for the input?
what time will the action take place?
How many times or how long in a day/week/month?
what emotional state hinders or helps?
what tools do I need/use
what will be the immediate completed action before I do the activity
Do I need other people or just me?

Here’s an example.

Performance goal: I want an A for math in the coming school calendar.

Process goal: Solve four extra math questions every day before dinner.

Process goals increase your chances for achieving performance goals than if you only have performance goals.

Now, write down 5 or more process goals tha you would do in the next school calendar
