Setting your Personal Goals - S.M.A.R.T goals
Setting smart goals is tantamount to achieving your personal objectives in life. Not that the goals are smart or clever-sounding, but they make your direction clearer. So you can use this method in any aspect of your life - job prospects, academic achievements, family growth, ideal physique or skills development. Let's be S.M.A.R.T about what we want to do here: SPECIFIC Make sure your goal is not generalised but personalised. It is your goal, not goals or expectations set by others. (My goal is to...) MEASURABLE Can you put a number or quantity to your goal? This lets you keep track of the direction you're headed, if you're going about the right way or the opposite of it. (Loss 5kg or complete 5 major projects or volunteer at 2 charities or clean the house 2 times) ATTAINABLE Ok, this is the part where we relook the number you've set for yourself. Is it a target within your reach that can be easily done within a reasonable time-frame (refer to Timely)
