My SMART Goals

In this particular blog post

I am going to set two SMART goals that i would like to achieve in the next 15 weeks..

S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Achievable
R - Relevant
T - Time Referenced

Goal Number One:
- To get a GPA higher than 3 in this current semester.

The reason why i set this as my goal:

I have set this goal so as to let me concentrate more onto studies.
Without a goal, i would never stay on focus.
And without focusing, i only managed to get a GPA of 2.479 last semester.
So in order to get a higher GPA, I’ve decided to set this as one of my goals.
I don't need high GPAs like 4, but at least something higher than what i've got last semester.

Ways to acheive my goal:

In this current semester, i have around 7 modules.
But some of them only have a "Pass" or "Fail" grade whilst others have grades like A B C D and so on.
Since some modules are giving me higher grade points, then i shall stay more focus on them.
For those modules with only "Pass" or "Fail" grade, i shall try my very best and aim for a Pass for everything.
And for those modules with grades like A B C D, i will aim for at least a B+ for each and every module.
Since i still have around 15 more weeks and i have around 7 modules. I will make full use of the first 14 weeks.

Module 1 represents one of the modules and so on.
Every week i will focus on one main module.
For example, if module 1 is Personal Development.
Then on the second week, i will focus on another module like communication skills.
Then on the 8th week, i will focus on Personal Development again.
And for the last week, the 15th week, i will try to revise all my modules' most important points and work for the very best.

Goal Number Two:
-To earn $1000 in 15 weeks

The reason why i set this as my goal:

I am a student who wants to work hard while playing hard.
And in order to play hard, i got to have some capital on my hand.
I dislike people who ask money from their family frequently in order to enjoy themselves.
And i want to:
Buy my bags, clothes and accessories using my own money.
Go out for gatherings, clubbings and entertainment using my own money.
Thus, i need to earn at least $1000 so that i can enjoy and spend happily in the upcoming holidays.

Ways to acheive my goal:

I know this goal might be too easy for a lot of people.
But for a student who needs to spend long hours in school, like me, it is not an easy task.
Other than spending long hours in school, i still need to fork up some time to complete my first goal.
That is why i think that having too many goals at one time will cause a lot of troubles.
Since i canot work for long hours, i have to take up part time jobs that are able to fit into my schedules.
Part time jobs like home tutors will do.
I only have to take around 2 students, earning around $150++per month/student.

Without any accidents, i will be able to earn around $1125 which means i will be able to reach my goal if everything went smoothly.
Accidents that may occur:
-Unable to get 2 students who are able to pay me $150/per month for 3 consecutive months starting from October
-Unable to get the money on time
-Our ( Student and me ) available time slots do not match
Each student will only take up 3 hours/week. And this 3 hours can be splitted into 2 lessons, which means 1 and a half hour/lesson.

I will only need to spend 6 hours per week for my part time job, 4 different days at most.
And the rest of the time/days, other than school hours, i will able to plan some time for my first goal and my entertaining hours.

That's the end of my plan for my two SMART goals.
Just hope that everything goes well.
And i'm serious! =D

PS: I have no idea if i'm doing this assignment correctly..
