My main goal is to focus on becoming more organized and time-efficient. I noticed I tend to spend my free time towards activities rather than towards studying and completing assignments. This has been an ongoing issue, and I have slowly started to make small changes that have been helping. My goal is to complete each of my lectures the same day of that specific course, rather than letting everything pile up by the end of the week, to have a stress free mind.  

• Specific: I will focus on managing my time for more efficiency.
• Measurable: I will complete two lectures a day with 15 minutes breaks every 45 minutes.
• Adjustable: I will focus on switching between watching lectures and completing assignments to give myself a break.
• Realistic: I will make time for studying by going to the library or cafe's to get into a good mindset.
• Time-based: I will begin by completing one lecture daily, and begin my assignments early and working over a time-span of two weeks before the due date to not stress myself out. By using smart goals, I know I can definitely follow through and obtain my goals. Creating a detailed schedule with different approaches definitely helps and also shows that I have taken the appropriate steps to reach my goals.
