The answer is re-evaluate the situation and refocus on how he can meet his goal.
Sometimes, like Mario, we overestimate ourselves and underestimate our work. We think that we can finish many tasks in a short time (e.g. 5 assignments in 1 hour). However, when we fail to achieve our goal, we should not stop. Instead, we should re-evaluate ourselves and the goal.
"How much time do I need?" "What external factors will prevent me from completing my goal?"
You need to be realistic and take note of external factors. After that, set a new and improved goals chart.
