I Ghostwrite educational email courses for Startups in Finance & Environment |Award-Winning Novelist,
Back in the university, I didn't fully understand the importance of "credit loads". They were just numbers that told me the courses I could never ever have anything less than an A. And I am sure it's still like that for a lot of people. That was until a friend explained them for me a few months after graduation. A two-credit course requires roughly two hours of weekly academic work—whether in class or studying—for a semester. This time investment is considered adequate to pass that course. In contrast, a three-credit course demands three hours weekly, and the same goes for a six-credit course. The more I started thinking about it, the more I began to see that this concept extends beyond school. It's highly possible that you may be approaching your goals with insufficient efforts, much like tackling a six-credit course with a two-credit mindset and routine. It just won't work. I'm learning to stop and count the cost whether it is a new startup, a degree, or mastering a new skill. I'm learning to assign credits to my goals and the amount of time I need to put in daily, weekly and monthly to achieve them. I am learning to align my effort with the scale of my goals. More demanding goals require more commitment, just as higher credit courses do. Give it what it takes. I will reap what I put in. Lesson: Effort must match the vision. #GoalSetting #EffortEqualsOutcome #PersonalDevelopment #LinkedInStories
