We all have goals but it takes a principled person to set a SMART goal.
Below are a few tips on setting a SMART GOAL goal using the S.M.A.R.T system..
(S)-Specific
You need to be specific in setting goals because a specific goal has a greater chance to be achieved than a general goal.To achieve this you should ask yourself the six(6) "W" question.
Who?-who is involved?
What?-what do you want to accomplish?
where?-you need to set a suitable location.
When?-you to set a time frame and a deadline.
which?-identify the requirements and constraints and how to overcome it.
Why?-specific reason why you want to accomplish this goal.
Example of a general goal- TO LOOSE WEIGHT BY SUMMER....Example of a specific goal-TO REGISTER IN A GYM AND WORK OUT 3 TIMES A WEEK.
(M)-Measurable
You need to be able to measure your goal,create a technique to identify if you are making progress or not.This will help you stay on track and meet with the deadline.
(A)-Attainable
your goal needs to be attainable and realistic.Do not set an abstract goal.Your goal should not be abstract or inferior.
(R)-Relevant
Your goal should be relevant to you.because this determines how serious you will take it.Is it something that is not against your values and belief?Something that you gain fulfillment from afterwards.
Your goal should be well grounded within a time frame.It should have a deadline.
Without a deadline there will be no urgency,without urgency there will be procrastination,and procrastination is the grave where opportunity is been buried.
So you have a goal?Evaluate it using the S.M.A.R.T system to see if its a SMART goal.
