Questions to ask myself:

What are my top-priority goals?

Which of my skills and interests make my goals realistic for me?

Are my goals measurable?

How long will it take me to reach them?

How will I know if I have achieved them?

Are my goals flexible?

What will I do if I experience a setback?

Are my goals controllable? Can I achieve them on my own?
