Consider broad goals this semester.  What habits can you develop that will help create an overall positive experience (academically, socially, etc)?  When you reach the end of the semester, what do you want to have accomplished and how do you want to feel?  Use this worksheet to identify 3 broad goals. Keep this sheet where you’ll always see it, and refer to it when completing the Weekly Action Plan worksheet. Revisit this worksheet to monitor how your goals have shifted in response to changes as the semester unfolds. You can share your plan with an academic coach by uploading your completed worksheet online.
