SMART Goals Defined

S- Specific- Specific goals have a desired outcome that is clearly understood. By being clear it helps us achieve what we set out to do. M- Measurable- These are the numbers used with the goal. You need to have a quantifiable objective so that you can track progress. This also tells you when your goal should be complete. A- Achievable- Goals need to be realistic in order to maintain the enthusiasm to try to achieve them. Setting lofty goals is good, but you may want to break them down into smaller, bite-sized chunks. R- Realistic/ Relevant- Avoid unnecessary overwhelm and frustration by making sure the goal is realistic to YOU. T- Timely- Helps us stay focused and inspired to move forward with the goal.
