Discussion: Setting goals and tracking your success

Before starting this discussion, you will need to research a particular technology tool or app that is used for setting goals and tracking your success toward those goals. Here are a few options:

(1) GoalsOnTrack (Links to an external site.)

(2) Lifetick (Links to an external site.)

(3) Habit List (Links to an external site.)

There are many other tools like this out there, so if you want to do your own research, you can find a different tool to research.

Once you’ve identified your tool and explored it a bit, answer the following questions:

(1) Which tool did you pick? Provide an overview of the tool and its uses.

(2) Do you think this tool would be useful in setting and achieving goals? Why or why not?

(3) Would you use this tool in the future? Why or why not?

(4) What strategies have you used in the past to set goals and plan to reach them?

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
