Introduction

Welcome to the next part of our study about personal goals.

Manage Your Life Online, also known as MYLO, is a problem-solving program. The program simulates the type of questioning that might prompt someone to think about their problems or goals differently. It aims to help you think of new aspects of the issue.

To begin, start by describing what is on your mind when you think about your goal, then press ok. To avoid going off on tangents, please limit the topic of conversation with MYLO to yourself and the goal you are focusing on.

Once you have described your goal, MYLO will then ask you a question based on your reply. You should always try to answer every question posed. If you are confused by the question, simply say a little more about your goal.

Once you have answered please respond using the "submit" button.

You will get more from the conversation if you:

  1. Think carefully about what you are being asked before replying.
  2. Don't think for too long before replying. Write what you are thinking even if it is not what you were asked.
  3. Provide one or two full sentences when replying. MYLO doesn't know what you're thinking unless you write it down.

MYLO is programmed to respond after your input, so please try to keep the conversation going as much as you feel comfortable. If you feel that you have reached a resolution about your goal, please end the conversation at any appropriate point as MYLO may tend to continue asking questions beyond this.
