As a football fan, “goals” have a completely different meaning than when we speak about them in the professional or personal context. GOALS provide focus, enhance productivity, boost self-esteem and increase commitment. I think it essential to make your goals SMART. In my world, S.M.A.R.T is an acronym and is extremely helpful when goal setting - S = specific, M = measurable, A = attainable, R= relevant and T = timely.
“A goal properly set is halfway reached.”
Specific
The more specific you are, the more likely you are to reach the goal. What specifically do you want to accomplish? Who’s involved? When? Where?
Measurable
How will you know when the goal is achieved? What milestones can you measure along the way?
Attainable
Make sure your goal is realistic and achievable.
Relevant
Be clear on why you want to work toward this goal. How is it significant to your life?
Timely
Anchor your goal with a deadline and create a calendar leading up to it with all the steps you need to take to reach your goal mapped out.
