Get Smart About Your Goals!

in #lifestyle6 years ago

Specific, Measurable, Actioned, Realistic, Timed

The New Year is upon us and we all make resolutions that never stick. But what if there were a way to set your goals so that you almost can't help but achieve them?

There is! For years, businesses in project management, personal trainers, and personal development experts alike have followed this simple mnemonic for setting and reaching goals. They are called SMART goals.

SPECIFIC - Clearly defined, what would like to accomplish.

MEASURABLE - Have an indicator of progress, Eg. Weight, Endurance, body fat, etc.

ACTIONABLE - Clearly lay out how you will achieve goals.

REALISTIC - Practical and achievable given your time, ability and current situation.

TIMED - Specify by when you will achieve your goals. Monthly is recommended.

We often set goals that are so unrealistic that are setting ourselves up for the failures. This simple method gives you a layout for effective goal setting that will help you be successful. So for 2019 make sure that your resolutions are SMART!Screenshot_20190105-032342~2.png

But it don't end there. Being smart is not enough you must stay committed to your goals. Write your goals, visualize them and stay committed to them and you know what ! The sky will be your stepping stone.
