Activity: WOOP
You can use the WOOP technique to help you set goals and plan effectively for the future. WOOP stands for:
Wish
Outcome
Obstacle
Plan
When taking on a new task or working towards a goal it is important to make sure you are prepared and have a balanced view of what this will involve. This means you will need to think about the outcome you want and what will be required to achieve it. You will also have to consider carefully any obstacles which could potentially distract you from your goal or disrupt your plan.
