Well the KISS acronym can go 2 ways: 1) Keep It Short and Simple or just 2) Keep It Simple, Stupid! Let's face it, we live in an already complicated world. The last thing anyone wants is another to-do list for an extravagant life-long goal. Work is constantly piling up, the house will always need maintenance, the kids need to go for sports training or remedial, and the in-laws demand your appearance. Life calls for you to juggle your professional and familial relationships and manage everyone's expectations. But look at it this way, you can go through life and its motions and forget to live. Sure you push all the right buttons and get things done, but is that what you want or is that what others want of you? You can climb the ladders of success and be so good at it for so long that you forget why you began climbing in the first place. Why do you do what you do? And is that the same motivating factor that you started with? To simplify life, and before you renew ...

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.

Is it a target within your reach that can be easily done within a reasonable time-frame (refer to Timely)...

Life is subjective, and how each person aims to live to reach her own goals and purpose is up to her individual motivation. And how you pursue your own goals is important too. You can have your WHY - your personal goal in life and your ultimate achievements - but do you have the HOW? A manager once told me that the means justifies the end. The process at which you get through to reach your personal or company goal has to be the most effective and time-efficient method, even if it includes upsetting others or missing lunch to get it done. There's some truth to this statement when it comes to work, but at what expense? Those of others and your own welfare? When this statement wears you and others down, its not something that will sustain you in the long-run. (I missed many meals as a result.) So the process at which you aim to achieve your goals is not and should not be short-cut. In work or diet or exercise, there is no short-cut to success. And success is a ladder, not a...
