Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Turning ambitions into rituals

Course subject(s) 3. Personal leadership

We want you to start thinking about your ambitions to be reached in 5 years and in 1 year. Briefly revisit the outcomes of the previous exercises of last week and this week in your workbook, and list all your ambitions that come to mind. In the workbook you can find several categories to think about and an example.

Some of these ambitions might be easily obtained. Some of them can be much harder or require a real change in your behavior. E.g. after a period of not doing sports, it might be hard to motivate yourself again to get up 30 minutes earlier every day and go for a run. In this section we will focus on ‘behavioral change’. Why is it so difficult and what tool could you use to help changing your behavior. You will choose one such “behavioral change” challenge.
