Riya only thinks that she needs to “study a lot” for her examination, but she does not decide the time or subjects. What should she do to make her plan more effective?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Set a clear, time-bound goal, such as studying one chapter daily from 6 to 7 p.m.
“Study a lot” is a vague intention because it does not specify what will be studied, how much will be covered, or when the work will occur. A clear, time-bound goal identifies the content and study period, allowing Riya to begin, measure progress, and revise the plan when necessary. The other choices involve delay, worry without action, or unrealistic last-minute effort rather than effective goal setting.
