What is it?
A learning goal names a task you want to be able to do.
Why would I need this?
Practice choosing a starting point that is smaller than an entire new career.
Show me.
- Name a task you want to learn.
- Describe what doing it successfully would look like.
- List what you already know and what help you need.
- Choose one short practice activity.
Try it.
Choose an invented goal such as opening a PDF attachment and finding a meeting date.
Watch out for this.
Practice with sample files instead of personal records.
Explain this another way
Focus on one small task: choose a skill you want to practice. You can practice aloud, on paper, or with someone you trust.
