When Setting Goals Use The S.M.A.R.T. System:
This is commonly used as a framework for setting effective goals. Each letter stands for a specific criterion:
S - Specific: Goals should be clear and specific, so that you know exactly what you're aiming for. This often answers the questions of who, what, where, when, and why.
M - Measurable: Goals need to be measurable to track progress and determine when the goal has been achieved. This involves setting clear criteria for measuring progress.
A - Achievable: Goals should be realistic and attainable. This means that the goal should be challenging but also possible to achieve considering available resources and constraints.
R - Relevant: Goals should matter to you and align with your broader life objectives. They should be relevant to your values and long-term goals.
T - Time-bound: Goals should have a clear deadline or time frame for completion. This helps to create a sense of urgency and prompts you to stay focused and motivated.
Using the SMART criteria can help ensure that your goals are well-defined and achievable, increasing the likelihood of success.
YOU are capable of amazing things! Embrace the journey and know that every obstacle is a stepping stone to your next victory! ššš
