What is the most rational way to set and achieve your goals? In this workshop, we will explore this question through a three-pronged approach. First, we will discuss how to match your overarching values to your long-term goals. Next, we will figure out what are the best strategies to help you connect these long-term goals to the actions that you take in your everyday life. Finally, we will consider how you can best assess and improve your goal achievement, both by self-monitoring and reassessing, and by creating structures of support and accountability.
