When I've got my professorial hat on, I teach students about SMART goals as one of many such accountability measures. However, I also tell them to dump any information or content that is a time waster or doesn't work for their personal learning needs.

You're making a lot of sense here. The ultimate ProBro ((or ProSis) or ProSib) is you because only you know how to get stuff done without make your life, well... lifeless.
