You don’t just do it to
please someone else
and nobody needs to
keep on reminding you

learn. You make it
happen!

Making sure LIFELONG
LEARNING happens
through GOAL SETTING
People set goals often but
then we:
• FORGET ABOUT THEM
• GIVE UP ON THEM
• GET TOO BUSY
• ARE DISAPPOINTED
• MAKE NEW ONES
THAT ARE EASIER TO
ACCOMPLISH
This is often because the
goals we set in the first
place were not very smart.
We need to set
SMART goals…
Specific
Measurable
Attainable / Achieveable
Relevant
Time-specific
SpecificYour goal must be as clear and detailed as
possible:
For example:
I want to learn more stuff
I want to learn new French words

MeasurableBreaking your goal down into smaller, more
manageable pieces, not only helps you to aim
for specific things but it is rewarding and
motivating when you can measure your
progress towards a goal:
For example:I want to speak French
I want to learn 10 new French words
Attainable /
AchieveableSetting unrealistic goals that are too far
beyond your reach can be more demotivating
than encouraging:
For example:I want to get five academic degrees one day
I want to meet the requirements for university
acceptance
RelevantGoals need to be important to you as you are
often the only one who can actually make
them happen!
Don’t set goals that you think you should set,
set goals that are relevant to your life, who
you want to be and what you want to achieve.
For example:I want to run a marathon (when you have never run any
further than 1km and don’t like running)
I want learn Spanish because I want to work in Spain
one day
Time-specificSet a dead line for your goal so you can stay
motivated. Make sure that the time you
allocate yourself is realistic.
For example:I want to learn to surf before next weekend.
I want to read 6 books before the end of the year.
