Goal Setting Worksheet: Dreams vs Goals

Exam preparation lesson 1: Dreams vs goals · Set 221 · 40 questions

Study tip (Dream big, plan small): A dream is a wish with no plan yet: “be famous one day”, “be really smart”. A goal is a clear target with a plan: a number, a date or a first step — “read 2 books this month”. To turn a dream into a goal: write it down, add a clear target and a finish date, choose the first small step and check it every week.
