Goals & Planning
Goals give you something to work toward. Planning works through what you’ll need to do, when you’ll do it, and what could get in the way. Together they make a desired change more specific.
This page covers setting goals, choosing actions, weighing options, and reviewing progress. It includes goals for things you can do and goals for results you want to achieve. There are also terms for working through obstacles and adjusting a plan when it doesn’t fit the situation.
