SMART goals<\/b><\/h3>\n
Set SMART goals for yourself. S is for specific, M is for measurable, A is for achievable, R is for relevant and T is for timely. This is a matter of subdividing responsibilities into specific tasks to foster motivation and action. Look at the tree, rather than the forest, and even the leaf, rather than the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nSpecific:<\/span><\/b> A goal is specific if it is detailed and targeted, so there is no doubt whatsoever about the exact task to accomplish. A specific goal is a goal that has ONE SINGLE PURPOSE.<\/span><\/p>\nMeasurable: <\/span><\/b>A goal is measurable when it can be quantified and you can objectively observe that it has been achieved. A measurable goal provides an INDICATOR.<\/span><\/p>\nAchievable:<\/span><\/b> A goal is achievable when it can reasonably be accomplished without too many \u201csacrifices.\u201d This kind of goal takes your capacities and context into account. It is connected to your MEANS and COMPETENCIES. <\/span><\/p>\nRelevant: <\/span><\/b>A goal is relevant when it contributes meaningfully and logically to the target outcome. A relevant goal is an APPROPRIATE STEP toward the overall objective.<\/span><\/p>\nTimely: <\/span><\/b>A goal is timely when it takes the limited time available into consideration. A timely goal allows you to set a DEADLINE for achieving it. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ICON_Motivation_Pomodoro.png\")
