Chapter 2: Values, Goals, and
Time
MANAGING YOURSELF
THIS CHAPTER SPLITS SELF-MANAGEMENT
INTO THREE PARTS: USING VALUES TO
GUIDE GOAL SETTING, WORKING THROUGH
PROCESS TO ACHIEVE GOALS, AND
MANAGING YOUR TIME
“Successfully Intelligent people…
are well aware of the penalties for procrastination.
They schedule their time so that the important
things get done – and done well.”
Robert Sternberg
Why is it important to know what you value?
 How Values Affect Your Educational Experience
 Values and Cultural Diversity
Okay, so what exactly are “values?”
 Values are principles or qualities that one considers
important.


Be careful: physical traits and roles are different from values,
which usually reflects a goal.
Some values have PERSONAL qualities and some are
BEHAVIORALLY ORIENTED.
Values can include…




Honesty
Personal accountability
Family
Money
Learning
Security
Being successful
Openness
 Academic Integrity:
Cheating clashes with
many positive values.
 Cultural
Competency:
Appreciating other
cultures. Values can
lead to prejudice when
we judge others for not
sharing the same values.
People who value
diversity are better
equipped to work with
others in the workplace.
Knowing your values helps you
define and set your goals.

How Do You Set and Achieve Goals?
 Set Long-Term Goals
 Set Short-Term Goals
 Prioritize Goals
 Work to Achieve Goals
Goals Reinforce One Another
 LONG-TERM Goals - intended to be attained over a long period of
time (years, not months)
 SHORT-TERM Goals – narrow focus, short period of time (weeks
and months)
 Short-term goals help you reach long-term goals.
 Prioritizing your goals helps you analyze what’s most important.
This helps you to FOCUS ENERGY, PAY ATTENTION to the most
important thing first, and MAKE WISE CHOICES.
Working to Achieve Goals
 Define your goal-setting strategy
How do you plan to reach your goal?
 Set a timetable
When do you want to accomplish your goal?
 Be accountable for your progress
What safeguards will keep you on track?
 Get unstuck
What will you do if you hit a roadblock?
SMART Goals
 Work with a partner, a group, or alone.
 Complete the SMART goals worksheet.

to use a ball that big, but
we are going to play a
little bit and think about
juggling all the things we
have to manage in a
day/week, etc.
Time to move! Activity!
How Can You Effectively Manage Your
Time?
 Identify Your Time-related Needs and Preferences
 In your notes or in your book, answer:
 What
time of day do I have the most energy? The
least energy?
 Do I tend to be early, on time, or late?
 Do I focus well for long stretches or do I need
regular breaks?
How would you like to have more free time?
 You can!
 Create (and use!) a schedule and avoid procrastination.
How Can You Effectively
Manage Your Time? (pg 44)

Anti-Procrastination Strategies


Act early and plan for the worst
Ask for help
Take the first step
Reward yourself with something tangible
Don’t expect perfection of yourself
Think about the positive effects of completing the task
Set reasonable goals
Use positive self-talk
Why do students give up?
 Poor self-management = values ≠ goals
 No goals
 Misuse of time
 Ultimately = STRESS!
Don’t fall into this trap!
Thinking Successfully About Values, Goals, and
Time
 Analytical thinking – evaluate your values, goals and how
you will spend your time – you need to THINK!
 Creative thinking – how will you manage your time and set
goals within your stress level – you need to be CREATIVE!
 Practical thinking – being self-aware, implementing self-
management skills, using time management, working toward
a goal, and practicing stress management are PRACTICAL!
