2. Setting up goals
A complete guide for goal setting (Part 1 and 2)
Share with the group the goals you want to achieve throughout the course. It can be personal or professional related. Describe the plan you wish to accomplish tighter with the weekly time you will set apart to accomplish it. This goal can be one of the ones you will develop later for your individual assignment or a different one. If you find another person with a similar purpose, comment on their post and try to connect.
Identify the three goals you want to accomplish in the next four to twelve weeks. You will create your plan, milestones, and how you will celebrate each landmark. Remember to consider time and where you will record your advancement (dairy, apps, etc.).
At the end of the course, you will submit a document stating how you feel if you accomplish your goals, what you can improve, and what you think can be different to achieve it.
Section 3: Detachment from work
1.Materials:
Turn off your work thoughts during your free time
2. Reflection exercise:
Identify the obstacles that won’t allow you to detach from work (Including communications, physical workspace, work demands, organizations' culture, etc.).
For each one of the factors, grade from 0 to 5 how much control you have to detach from them (0= Cannot detach at all, 1= Hard to detach but still possible, 2=Hard to detach but easily possible, 3= I can somehow detach, 4= I can separate most days, 5= Easy to detach daily.
For the factor that you grade as 0 (not able to detach at all), think about what would happen if you do detach from it. What would be the worst that could happen to you, the client, or your co-workers? Is there anything our organization can do to make you feel better about detachment from your duties at work?
Share with the group your tips and trick to detach from work; you can answer the following questions or create your own outline: “How do I allow myself to detach from work and not feel guilty about it?” / “How do I ensure the time and space I need to achieve detachment from work?"
You will submit a brief two-paragraph document with a picture of the activity or moment you usually take to detach from work (it could be during work, e.g., during lunch break or off work). Remember to use the tips in the presentation, the video, and the podcast. You don't have to appear in the picture, just the place or activity you choose to engage in disengaging from work. The document needs to describe the action and why it helps you detach from work (see example). The more genuine copies will appear in the Health Section of our Newsletter of the Month.

Remember when you master a skill related or not related to work. Share with the group the time, effort, and favorable outcome after learning this skill. If you find someone who masters the same skill, please comment on their profile and connect with each other.
Provide a document with the skill you decided to work in through this course. Remember that mastering a skill or knowledge takes time and effort.
