Review behavior goal(s)

Published 1 min read

What does it mean to review behavior goals?

Reviewing behavior goals means looking at a person's agreed targets with them, checking progress, and deciding whether to keep the goal or change the goal or approach.

How it works

Goals can become stale. A walking target that was challenging last month may now be easy. After an illness, the same target may be too much. Reviewing it gives the person a chance to adjust the plan to their current situation. Keeping the existing goal is also a valid decision.

Why it matters

The review concerns what the person does, such as how often they practice or how far they walk. Reviewing the result they want, such as a savings balance, is a separate technique.

This is technique 1.5 in the BCT Taxonomy.
