A good strategy in subgoaling is to Group of answer choices work forward in your planning by first creating a subgoal that is closest to the beginning of the problem-solving effort and finally creating a subgoal that is closest to the final goal. not create more than two subgoals. not create fewer than ten subgoals. work backward in your planning by first creating a subgoal that is closest to the final goal, and then work backward to the subgoal that is closest to the beginning of the problem-solving effort.
