Set specific goals, be accountable to them, and make a plan

Set specific goals, be accountable to them, and make a plan – Without a plan, a goal is just a wish.  You need to know what you want to accomplish.  The large goal is graduating, and completing each course is part of that process.  Don’t hope to complete a course, and you will take the test when you feel ready… you need to commit to completing a course by a certain date.  Give yourself a deadline that you won’t be happy with yourself if you miss it.  My goal is to complete 1 course every 30 days.  If I completed it in 21 days, I had 9 days to reward myself with. If I completed it in 29 days, I took a day off.  The key thing is, my studying was not optional.  If I took time off from studying, before reaching my goal, it was planned, and my study time the other days of the week adjusted for that day off.  Reaching my goal of completing 1 course every 30 days was not optional. Set your goals and commit to them.
