Study Notes
Setting Priorities and Goals
- Priorities are judgments of relative importance, influencing spending, choices, and careers.
- Needs are essential for survival (e.g., food, shelter), usually similar across people.
- Wants are desired but non-essential items, varying greatly among individuals.
- Values are strongly held beliefs (e.g., honesty, respect) guiding our choices and balancing needs/wants. Values can change with culture, religious beliefs, family upbringing, etc.
- Standards are established levels of quality/quantity used for measurement (e.g., wealth, title, family relationships).
- NWVS (Needs, Wants, Values, Standards) shape our priorities, which can change over time due to evolving NWVS.
- Goals are targets for achievement, translating priorities into action and providing direction. Goals can be short-term or long-term, with short-term goals assisting in achieving long-term goals. Often, there is a conflict between short-term and long-term goals, demanding discipline.
- Family life cycle is a series of stages influencing goals. Stages vary by family situation (e.g., presence of children). People in similar family stages tend to have similar goals.
- Achieving goals requires careful planning, realistic expectations, anticipation of obstacles, enlisting support, and acknowledging successes/failures.
