Lecture 02 - Setting SMARTer Goals: Ready and Prepared with a Plan Flashcards
How can we improve our chances to succeed at our personal goals?
What is the reframed way of formulating today’s question?
How can we overcome our self-control limitations to succeed at our personal goals?
How can we reach more of our personal goals?
- Don’t pursue too many goals at the same time
- Frame our goal pursuits in a SMAART way
- TRY TO BOOST YOUR BELIEFS OF SELF-EFFICACY SO THAT YOU ARE READY TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL
What is self-efficacy?
beliefs about your ability to successfully perform certain actions

self-esteem
actual ability
what are the benefits of having self-efficacy?
- Focus your attention more effectively
- Exert more effort

the relationship between self-efficacy and goal progress is r = 0.39
What is Heidi Grant Halverson’s #1 secret?
make an implementation plan
what is a proven way to overcome self-control limitations?
take 5 minutes to outline an implementation plan that specifies where, when and how you will pursue your goal
What are the intentions and effects on goal progress of implementation plans?
- goal intentions alone do not guarantee the success of actions
- goal setting should be followed by planning
- implementation intention is an if-then plan that specifies when, where, and how the behaviour will lead to the achievement of a goal
94 independent studies show a significant positive effect of Pearson r = .33
What is Fogg’s Behaviour Model?
– The Fogg Behavior Model shows that three elements must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur:
- Motivation, Ability, and a Trigger
– When a behavior does not occur, at least one of those three elements is missing
– The Fogg Behavior Model (FBM) makes it easier to understand behavior in general
What is the answer to the question of the day?
- limit the number of goals
- make SMAART goals
- boost your self-efficacy
- augment the goals with implementation plans
