Part 1: Record Time Spent

repeats, like “sleep.” You will refer to this chart as a “time tracker.”

Part 2: How Well Are You Attaining Your Goal of Completing PathwayConnect?
Think back on W06 Life Skills Lesson: Goals and Habits. Completing PathwayConnect can be seen as a mid or top-level goal. Is there
evidence from the time tracker above that you are actively working towards this goal? If yes, what is the evidence? Is it enough to
help you attain your goal of completing PathwayConnect? Why or why not? If no, indicate what you can remove from your schedule
to make room for more studying.

As you can see, my whole day is all about studying. I will give more time for myself because I feel like I am overdoing all things. But I
will always keep in my mind my goals.

Part 3: Write Lower-Level Goals


Think back on your reading about goals and habits. Completing PathwayConnect can be seen as a mid or top-level goal. Write at
least three lower-level goals that will help you reach the higher goal of completing PathwayConnect. Each goal should relate to your
use of time. Try to make your goals SMART (see the reading from this week).

Example: To reach my goal of completing PathwayConnect, I will


 Study at least 12 hours per week
 Do at least three of my study sessions per week at a designated quiet space
 Every day, I will relax for 30 minutes and remind myself I can do this!

To reach my goal of completing PathwayConnect, I will


 Study all my lessons.
 Do all the important assignments or the assignments with an early due date.
 Every day, I will remind myself that I should give myself a time to rest.

Go on to Part 4 
Part 4: Create a Pacing Guide
A pacing guide helps you work on the lower-level goals you set above. It should help you plan your time through a typical week.
Include any activity that you feel will impact your goals.

Please answer the questions on the next page 


1. Fill these in according to the time you recorded in the chart above.
 Each week, I dedicate 12 hours to my first goal from Part 3 above.
 Each week, I dedicate 2 hours to my second goal from Part 3 above.
 Each week, I dedicate 3 hours to my third goal from Part 3 above.

2. How will this pacing guide help you attain these lower-level goals?

Setting goals allows us to put our day-to-day actions in the context of long-term objectives. Setting goals, for example, aids in the
organization of priorities and the mapping out of the key smaller actions that are critical to achieving a bigger aim or initiative's
success. You'll have more time to do the things you enjoy if you're more efficient with your time. There are infinite possibilities to
focus on yourself as a person and take care of your mental health when using good time management techniques—benefits that go
beyond any professional development plans.
