Part 2: How Well Are You Attaining Your Goal of Completing PathwayConnect?
Think back on W06 Life Skills Lesson: Goals and Habits. Completing PathwayConnect can be seen as a mid or top-level goal. Is there
evidence from the time tracker above that you are actively working towards this goal? If yes, what is the evidence? Is it enough to
help you attain your goal of completing PathwayConnect? Why or why not? If no, indicate what you can remove from your schedule
to make room for more studying.
Yes, I actively working toward completing PathwayConnect, the evidence of that, is the amount of hours that I devote doing my
assignments (3.5 hours) and as a mother, wife and worker, I am convinced that it is enough to help me attain my goal.
Part 3: 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).
Example: To reach my goal of completing PathwayConnect, I will
Study at least 12 hours per week
Do at least three of my study sessions per week at a designated quiet space
Every day, I will relax for 30 minutes and remind myself I can do this!
To reach my goal of completing PathwayConnect, I will
Study at least 15 hours per week
Every day, I will take 30 minutes for rest a little bit, because all the time I’m busy.
I spend at least two hours per day with my family.
Go on to Part 4
Part 4: Create a Pacing Guide
A pacing guide helps you work on the lower-level goals you set above. It should help you plan your time through a typical week.
Include any activity that you feel will impact your goals.

2. How will this pacing guide help you attain these lower-level goals?
This pacing guide help me to organize my time in a better way and to remember that I have to study, but at the same time I must
spend time with my family and I need time for myself. To sum up, I need a balance.
