6. Make sure your goals are SMART: Specific – What exactly do you want to accomplish? Measureable – How will you note the progress toward you goal and what it was achieved? Attainable – Is it something you can achieve at once, do it require you to have smaller goals before reaching a huge goal? Relevant – How will this help shape you and your life? How will it benefit you? Time-Bound – Do you have enough time to reach your goal? Is it reasonable?

Everything is important! How many people use a planner? How many people use it not only for school but for their daily lives as well?
