Why you should take the course

Goals guide you to success and give you motivation when work doesn't come naturally. However, it is essential to learn to set realistic, concrete and achievable goals. Otherwise, they are all too easy to remain distant visions of the future.

After setting goals, it is time to plan. A good plan is like a map that tells you exactly which route you need to take to reach your goal. It's easier to get big projects done when they're broken down into smaller daily tasks.

The course is designed with learning and studying in mind, so it will be particularly useful for students in higher education. However, the same principles apply no matter what you are doing or pursuing. The course is useful to anyone who wants to carry out their projects in a more goal-oriented and planned way.
