Original Text
Don't Just Set Attainment Goals.
Attainment goals are objectives you set to accomplish specific things, such as obtaining a gold TOEIC certificate or increasing your salary at work. These goals are great, and you should set a completion date for them. However, in some cases, you should not set attainment goals. Instead, you should set action goals, which are goals about how much time you should spend doing something. Let's use reading an English novel as an example. While this is one of the best ways to improve your English, it is usually a mistake to set the goal of reading a certain number of chapters every day or finishing the novel in a certain number of months. That will only stress you out, and you could easily give up. Rather, set an action goal: decide to read the novel a certain number of minutes each day and don't worry about how many pages you read. Remain flexible with your goal, too. You may need to decrease the time on some days, and you may want to increase it on others. Do this, and in a few months, you'll be amazed by how much you've achieved!
Translation
不要只有设定成就目标
成就目标是你设置要达成特定事情的目标,像是拿到托业金色证书或工作薪资增加等。这些目标很棒,你应该设一个你想达成的时间。然而在有些情况下,你不该设置成就目标,而是要设置行动目标,行动目标是你设置要花多少时间去做特定事情的目标。以阅读英文小说为例,虽然这是提升英文最好的方法之一,但是你设置目标每天要读几个章节或设 定几个月读完一本小说,这种设置是错误的。只会带给你压力,而且可能很容易就放弃了。不如设置一个行动目标:决定每天固定花几分钟的时间阅读小说,也不用管你看了几页。对你的目标也要保持弹性。有时候你可能需要减少时间,而有时候你可能会想增加。这样做,几个月后,你会很惊讶自己已经读完了许多。
