Plan for success in your learning project

Over the last five essays, I’ve shared two definitions:

A learning project is an intentional effort to address an identified knowledge gap.

A learning goal is a clear, achievable statement of something you want to learn or accomplish.

Now we’re going to turn our attention to making a plan to meet your goal.

When you are making a plan for meeting a learning goal, there several questions you need to answer for yourself. While your list might have some different items on it, I’ve found this list is a pretty good starting place for most people.

• How much time do I have to meet this goal?
• How will I make time in my life to meet this goal?
• How much can I spend to meet this goal?
• What support do I need in order to meet this goal?
• Who could help me meet this goal?
• What resources are available to help me meet this goal?

In the next few essays, we’ll look at each of these questions in depth.
