Question

Think about goals you could set for yourself and describe at least two of them. Then explain what steps you would take to achieve these goals.

Answer 1

Goal #1:

Finish my piano medley

Description:

Two months ago I resolved to compose my own piano medley that entails of 20+ songs and lasts about 20 minutes long. Unfortunately, I've only gotten 6 songs in so far.

Steps Needed:

a. Learn all the songs I'd like to add in my composition

b. Focus on the song I had been attempting to master this past month: Chopin - Etude in C minor op.25, no.12

c. Work on my fingering -- fingering is key and will allow me to play more expertly

d. Actually learn to read music: I cannot read sheet music nor do I want to, but it beats playing by ear and it will aid in expanding my hobby

e. Practice. Practice. Practice. I don't practice as I should and I keep bouncing from one instrument to the next. I must set aside time to practice my piano.

Goal #2:

Run a mile in five minutes.

Description:

Not much to describe here. I. Want. To. Run. A. Mile. In. Five. Minutes.

Steps Needed:

a. Sleep more. Sleep is essential to sprinters and I haven't been faithful in getting my 8 hours of sleep -- it's more like 4 but hey, you need goals first.

b. Drink more water. I can go a whole day without water and that is not good. Big, big bad. Water is rejuvenates runners as one, they need it to survive, and two, it give back all the liquid that was lost by sweating.

c. Stretch. I'm not flexible -- at all, but stretching is a great goal to have because if you don't prepare your muscles and joints, you could seriously injure yourself and trust me, the cramps have no mercy.

d. Time myself. The last time I timed myself, I got roughly 8 minutes and that was a year ago. I need to be more disciplined in timing myself so I can see my progress and places where I should and can improve.

e. Eat well. I do eat well and follow the OMAD regimen religiously, however, this is still a goal of mine because sometimes I'm prone to still do OMAD while eating not-so-good stuff like fries or even bread.

Answer 2

Goal 1: Stay more focused on school-In my freshman year, I ditched class and never did my work; I ended up having straight F's. I think in order to achieve this goal, I need to obviously stop ditching class and get some better friends (they were bad friends and they were kinda the reason I started ditching) And make an effort to do work.

Goal 2: Spend more time with my pet rabbits- I have three of them and I never spent time with them; they eventually became disobedient and would pee on me whenever I did spend time with them. In order to achieve this goal, Instead of recking my life, I can take them outside more; they were properly trained but since I stopped spending time with them, they changed and pee all the time, even though I potty trained them.
