Activity 16.2 Prioritizing Your Subjective Goals

• Identify six of your most important general subjective goals, and enter them in the Subjective goals column.
• Then reflect on the goals and prioritize them, placing an X in column A (being most important), column B (being somewhat important), and column C (being less important). All of your goals should not have the same priority (so use at least one B and one C).
