Goal-setting is an important strategy to manage your time and stay on track with your education. reflect on the importance of goal-setting, and answer the following questions:

1. briefly, share a time when you set a goal and did not accomplish it, and then share a time when you set a goal and successfully achieved it. why weren’t you successful in your first example? why were you successful in your second example?

2. why does effective goal-setting us achieve goals? what are the characteristics of good goals?

3. based on your answer to questions 1 and 2, set three goals: one short-term, one mid-term, and one long-term.

provide a word count at the end and be sure to reference your sources.

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
