Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

The Goal Reformer: A friend tells you, "I haven't exercised in three years, but I'm going to go to the gym for two hours every single day starting tomorrow." Use the SMART criteria (specifically Achievable) to explain why this might fail and suggest a "reformed" version of this goal.

  • Solution:
  • Why it fails: It ignores Schedule and Safety. Going from zero to 14 hours a week is likely to cause extreme fatigue or injury, and the schedule is probably too demanding to maintain.
  • Reformed Goal: "I will go to the gym for 30 minutes, 3 days a week, for the next month."
  • Hint: Think about the "S.A.D." factors—Schedule, Ability, and Duration.

💡 Hint: Think about the "S.A.D." factors—Schedule, Ability, and Duration.

Challenge 2 Hard

  • Hint: Resources can be tools, places, or people.
