In this post, we will discuss the ways to set clear goals for the study. A clearly defined goal is the start of self-discipline. To achieve success, you need to have a clear goal in your mind and a proper routine to achieve it. You should be able to imagine it clearly because a clear image of your goal is the trigger point of your actions to achieve them. Without a goal, there is no direction to start the task efficiently and you get frustrated for not being able to focus on your study. The main difficulty you face is not able to get the idea of where to start and where to focus.

How to set clear goals for the study?
Now, if you are a student, first recognize what is your strength and which is your favorite subject. After selecting the favorite subject, start researching the school, colleges, and exams giving admission to your selected course. After selecting the exam, make a list of the syllabus covering that particular exam. Now, you can clearly see the topics you need to study. Listen, your plan does not end here. You need to divide the syllabus as per the timeline for your exam. I.e if you have 12 months to prepare for the exam, divide the topics into 12 sections or as per your convenience. Also, make a plan for the proper revision of the topics, so that you do not forget what you have already learned. So now, you have a goal to pass the exam and you are ready to decide the path to prepare for the same.
For successfully achieving your goal, imagination to achieve the goal plays a very important role. Imagine that you are giving the exam and you know everything. This type of imagination will open your path to studying the syllabus very well. Imagine your success and become a self-disciplined person to achieve it. Without self-discipline, you cannot achieve your goal. You have to invest time and energy. You need to be punctual. You need to study hard to achieve the imagined goal. But to work hard, you need to set the goal first.
Avoid too many choices:
Avoid too many choices for selecting your goal. I.e if you want to go to a college, just choose one stream and focus to crack the exam for that stream only. If you want to go to law college, prepare for the law exam, and if you want to become an engineer, prepare for the engineering exam and the same applies to doctors, etc. Narrow down your goal, do not scatter them. This will clearly open the path to start working to achieve your goal.
Now, if you have decided on your goal, you will have to work hard to achieve the same. For working hard, you need motivation, the imagination of success, and a positive mindset. In the next post, we will discuss how to create a positive mindset for the study to achieve your goal.
