MANAGING YOURSELF
THIS CHAPTER SPLITS SELF-MANAGEMENT INTO THREE PA RTS : USING VA LUES TO
GUIDE GOAL SETTING, WORKING THROUGH PROCESS TO ACHIEVE GOALS, AND
MANAGING YOUR T IME
Chapter 2: Values, Goals, and Time
“Successfully Intelligent people…
are well aware of the penalties for procrastination. They schedule their time so that the important things get done – and done well.”
Robert Sternberg
Why is it important to know what you value?
How Values Affect Your Educational Experience
Values and Cultural Diversity
Okay, so what exactly are “values?”
Values are principles or qualities that one considers important. Be careful: physical traits and roles are different from
values, which usually reflects a goal. Some values have PERSONAL qualities and some are
BEHAVIORALLY ORIENTED.
Values can include…
HonestyPersonal
accountabilityFamilyMoneyLearningSecurityBeing successfulOpenness
Academic Integrity: Cheating clashes with many positive values.
Cultural Competency: Appreciating other cultures. Values can lead to prejudice when we judge others for not sharing the same values. People who value diversity are better equipped to work with others in the workplace.
Knowing your values helps you define and set your goals.

TEXTBOOK.

How Do You Set and Achieve Goals?
Set Long-Term GoalsSet Short-Term GoalsPrioritize GoalsWork to Achieve Goals
Goals Reinforce One Another
LONG-TERM Goals - intended to be attained over a long period of time (years, not months)
SHORT-TERM Goals – narrow focus, short period of time (weeks and months)
Short-term goals help you reach long-term goals.
Prioritizing your goals helps you analyze what’s most important. This helps you to FOCUS ENERGY, PAY ATTENTION to the most important thing first, and MAKE WISE CHOICES.
Working to Achieve Goals
Define your goal-setting strategyHow do you plan to reach your goal?
Set a timetableWhen do you want to accomplish your goal?
Be accountable for your progressWhat safeguards will keep you on track?
Get unstuckWhat will you do if you hit a roadblock?
Work with a partner, a group, or alone. Complete the SMART goals worksheet.
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Results-Focused
Time-Bound
Select ONE value and create a goal that will help you live that value.
SMART Goals
Time to move! Activity!
Okay, so we’re not going to use a ball that big, but we are going to play a little bit and think about juggling all the things we have to manage in a day/week, etc.
Identify Your Time-related Needs and Preferences
In your notes or in your book, answer: What time of day do I have the most
energy? The least energy? Do I tend to be early, on time, or late? Do I focus well for long stretches or do I
need regular breaks?
How Can You Effectively Manage Your Time?
How would you like to have more free time?
You can! Create (and use!) a schedule and avoid
procrastination.
Build a Schedule: using pg 59-60 in the book, create what YOU think (estimate) your schedule looks like.
Color code classes, free time, work, meal time.On the handout, add up your ESTIMATED time
expenditures

Assignment due next week:track all of your activities this week on the handout
Write down exactly the amount of time you spend.
At the end of the week, complete the questions on the bottom of the handout.
Time Tracker
You can’t achieve your goals if you don’t
manage your time.Make a To-Do List (pg 50)
Get a partner or a group of up to 4 students. Brainstorm and T-Chart it. In your notes draw the following:
Procrastination!
Ways to Procrastinate How Can I fight those!
Unrealistic or intimidating goalsNo goals at all!Lack of belief in yourselfFear
Why do we procrastinate? (pg 51)
Act early and plan for the worst Ask for help Take the first step Reward yourself with something tangible Don’t expect perfection of yourself Think about the positive effects of completing the
task Set reasonable goals Use positive self-talk
Anti-Procrastination Strategies
Poor self-management = values ≠ goalsNo goalsMisuse of timeUltimately = STRESS!
Don’t fall into this trap!
Why do students give up?
Analytical thinking – evaluate your values, goals and how you will spend your time – you need to THINK!
Creative thinking – how will you manage your time and set goals within your stress level – you need to be CREATIVE!
Practical thinking – being self-aware, implementing self-management skills, using time management, working toward a goal, and practicing stress management are PRACTICAL!
