SMART Goals

Have you have tried to do something for years but failed because you're not getting anywhere or you have no purpose? Well it might be because you haven't set any goals for yourself. Many people jump from task to task because its either taken them too long to accomplish or because they haven't seen any progress. If you feel this way you need to set yourself a SMART goal. A SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. SMART goals are a great way to know exactly what to do to accomplish the goal, with no questions asked. First, you start with a specific goal in mind. You want it to be specific so it motivates you. You need to figure the who, what, when, where, and why of this specific goal. Next, measurable, pick something you'll be able to track so you can physically see your own progress and keep focused. Then comes attainable. Don't pick something so far out of this world that you physically would be able to do it, make it realistic for yourself. Relevant is next. Make sure this goal matters to you and is actually something you want to do. Finally, is timely. Your goal needs a target date of when it will be accomplished. Make it a priority and focus on finishing that day! SMART goals can feel very satisfying when you accomplish them, give it a try and see if it helps!
