I will do so by (date):
1. This goal meets the following goal setting criteria:
______1. It is achievable in both time & ability.
______2. I believe I can do it.

2. I want to achieve this goal because it will be worthwhile (and of value) or
potentially satisfying in the following ways: (list them)
3. Personal strengths or abilities I can use to meet my goal are:
4. Goals: My first short-term goal (first step) toward achieving my long-range
goal is:
I will do this by (date)
5. Does it meet the goal setting criteria outlined in the previous check-list?
6. Other short term goals. On a separate sheet of paper, create three headings
on paper: “Personal Goal” “Date to be Achieved” “Results” Use this to keep tract
of your progress and to help fine tune your plan.
*Sometimes the achievement of a goal can be blocked by you or by external
factors. If the block is coming from you, it may be necessary to set and achieve
early short-term goals to develop specific skills or to change your attitudes,
feelings and thoughts. If the blocks are coming from other people then you may
need to set your first short-term goal for improvement in your relationship
skills in order to overcome these blocks. But first it will be necessary to
document the reality of any blocks you might expect. Often the “expecting” of
blocks creates them. Actually, since your long-range goal is to meet the
criterion of “achievable,” you need to anticipate goal achievement problems
before you set your goal.
