What is the first step in goal setting? pace yourself. make a plan. set a schedule. make tasks manageable.

The correct answer is B. Make a plan.

Explanation

A goal is a purpose or a final objective that requires time, effort and smaller goals or tasks to be achieved; due to this, the first step when setting a goal is to create a plan that includes the steps, sub-goals, and resources you need to achieve the goal. This is important because without a plan you might not know how to get to the outcome you want. For example, if your goal is to get a university degree,  you have to make a plan that includes the time, money and others resources you might need and the steps it requires such as considering different universities, selecting a program, enrolling in the university, attending all classes, etc. So, the correct answer is B. Make a plan.
