SMART is an acronym to help you set positive and achievable goals. Specific Goals should be straightforward and emphasize what you want to happen. Specifics help us to focus our efforts and define what we are going to do. To set a specific goal you must answer the 6 Ws: Who? Who is involved? What? What would I like to accomplish? Where? Where is this happening? When? When do I start/finish? Which? Identify requirements and constraints Why? Why am I doing this? Specific reasons, purpose or benefits! Measurable If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it! If you can’t measure it you will not be able to define whether you have achieved your goal or not. Goals usually have several short-term and on-going measurements so that you can see how you are doing in your aim to achieve your goal. A non-measurable goal: I want to learn how to break dance. A measurable goal: I want to learn 5 break dance moves by Friday November 2nd. Attainable If your goal is important to you, you’ll figure out ways to make it come true! After identifying your goal, you’ll begin to see previously overlooked opportunities and seize them to bring you closer to the achievement of your goal. A goal should stretch you slightly so you feel you can do it, and it will need a real commitment from you. Think about what is achievable and what you want to do. If a goal is set too far out of your reach, you may not commit to it, or complete it. Feeling successful as you move to achieve your goal will help you to remain motivated! Realistic Doing what’s ‘do-able’ doesn’t mean easy. Realistic goals should have you push you, but not break you! It is important to have a plan to make achieving your goal realistic. Set the bar high enough for a satisfying achievement! Timely What is your time frame? Putting an end to your goal, or target dates to work towards, gives you a sense of accomplishment as you move toward achieving your goal. With a time frame comes more commitment to achievement! The time you set should be measurable, attainable, and realistic.
