- 7. How to Set a Goal Using DAPPS • To be truly motivating, a goal needs 5 qualities • “DAPPS” is an acronym: – Dated – Achievable – Personal – Positive – Specific 7
- 8. Dated • Motivating goals have specific deadlines • Short term goals are a few months or less • Long term goals are usually more than a year • As your deadline approaches, your motivation typically increases • If you don’t meet your deadline, you have opportunity to review and create a new plan • Without a deadline, you could stretch your pursuit of a goal and may not reach it 8
- 9. Achievable • Motivating goals are challenging but realistic • Example: – Getting ready for a marathon: • Practice one week before by running around the block • Practice one year before with someone who has done it • Set your limit… not too high and not too low • Ask yourself: “Is achieving this goal at least 50% believable to me?” Or “Can this be done?” 9
- 10. Personal • Motivating goals are your goals, not someone else’s • Ask yourself if this goal contribute to your personal desire/dream? 10
- 11. Positive • Motivating goals focus your energy on what you do want rather than on what you don’t want • Translate negative goals into positive goals – Negative: I’m not going to fail this class – Positive: I’m going to earn at least a B in this class – Negative: I will stop being late to classes – Positive: I will arrive early to every class – Negative: I will stop eating junk food – Positive: I will start eating healthy food 11
- 12. Specific • Motivating goals state outcomes in specific, measurable terms • Example – Good: My goal is to do better this semester – Better: I goal is to achieve a 8.5 GPA by Dec. 12, 20XX – Good: My goal is to play harder on the basketball court – Better: My goal is to achieve at least 80% field goal by Oct. 15, 20XX 12

- 14. Tips For Self Motivation 14
- 15. Set Goals • A major mistake made by most people is that they set their goals only in “mind”. And anything out of mind turns out to be out of sight. • Hence, make a note of all the goals that you intend to achieve, before you sleep in a notepad and place it right in front of you. • Every morning when you wake up, a look at the notepad would remind you of the targets. Moreover, make realistic goals that can be achieved. • Unset goal in life is like starting a business without having a capital to invest. 15
- 16. Stay Focused • Another problem with most people is that they get influenced by other people easily. • Often, people try to divert you from your goal, thereby creating bad feelings that are worthless and rubbish. • As the popular saying goes, “Don’t get mad, get even”. Hence, take those bad feelings as a challenge and make efforts to minimize them. • Whenever you feel someone is trying to pull you back, work twice hard and prove them wrong. 16
- 17. Do Not Procrastinate • Once you have set goals for yourself, do not make excuses to delay them, else you will never be able to achieve them. • Never let procrastination come in your way of accomplishing the tasks. • The best way of keeping it at bay is to start working on the goals immediately. • Break down the goals into small bits to make them easily achievable. 17
- 18. Stay Positive • In case you are finding it hard to stay focused on your goals, the best way is to stay optimistic and positive towards reaching the final line. • Confidence and optimism serve as your best friends in your tough and rough times. • Spend adequate time with family and friends who themselves are positive and motivated. • People who are discouraging and pessimistic should be kept at distance. 18
- 19. Reward Yourself • The best and perfect way to keep motivating yourself is by rewarding yourself on completing a particular task. • Conquering small battles is the best motivation secret for moving on to the next goal. • Through rewarding and congratulating yourself, you are increasing your self-esteem. Hence, self motivation gets easier and attainable. 19
