Ans.
To achieve bigger goals, it is essential to break them into smaller
actionable tasks. By devising a realistic and time-bound plan we increase our chance of achieving what we want in life.
Realistic- Devise a realistic plan for example- rather than saying 'I
will devote 8 hours to my studies every day' a more realistic goal may be to say 'I will study for 3-4 hours regularly'.
Time-bound- A time-bound target informs you are progressing at the right
pace or not. For example, rather than saying, 'I will complete this chapter' a
time-bound target would be. 'I will finish this chapter by 8 pm'.
3. The chapter mentions 'measurable' as part of the SMART strategy. What
do you understand by it? How do you measure your progress?
Ans.
Measurable- A goal without a measurable outcome is like a sports competition without a scoreboard. we should make our progress measurable.
For example, rather than saying, 'I will speed up my learning' a more measurable target would be, 'I will solve 20 math problems in 2 hours' measuring my own progress report every day after completing the daily target.
4.What is the importance of self-management ? Explain briefly.
Ans.
self-management yourself to achieve the pre-determined tasks or goals that you have set for yourself by regulating your actions, organizing your time, and being accountable for your decision.

Self-management is a great skill to be developed for life and work.
5. Discuss any three strategies of Organisation Skills that you would like to apply in your life. How do you hope to benefit from
them?
Ans.
The 3 strategies that I would like to apply are as follows:-
- (i)-Specific- A well-defined task helps us to focus our efforts.
- (ii)-Achievable- Set targets that are realistic and can be achieved. setting unattainable targets results in a false sense of failure, loss of motivation, etc.
- (iii)-Estimate the time required for each task- Be realistic in estimating the time required to accomplish the tasks as it helps us to plan effectively.
These all strategies will make me focus on my goal, increase the chance of achieving what I want in life, will let me know about my progress, and will also make me more productive.
