Part 1: 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).

Fill in the Chart Below:

Lower-Level Goals

Thursday for my assignments of the week. I will study
from 10:00 to 11:30 pm.
1. I plan to do my assignments every Friday from 10:00am

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

My everyday life is busy and the only sure thing is that anything can change in every minute. My job is time consuming as well as my
responsibilities as the oldest son of my family. Setting goals with specific time is a challenge for me, I am afraid about how to
accomplish the goals and keep a good performance at work, school and my other activities but setting a time with specific hours will
give me the idea of how to plan my days from the morning to make it possible. I feel that I don't have too much time for me
specifically during midweek but I will enjoy all the activities because they are part of my life. Now I have my schedule and I want to
start by setting times for each activity and then to order them in a specific hour.
