Work “SMART”
Specific
• Set your goals – not vague, but clear and precise
• State in plain terms what you want to achieve
• Focus exactly on what you want to do

Measurable
• The goals should be quantifiable in some ways, so that you can assess
the progress you are making or indeed, not making

Achievable
• You need to focus on goals that are realistic and possible
• They should stretch you, but should not be so completely
beyond your reach that they are unrealistic and unattainable

Relevant
• Look at the goal in the context of your wider plans
• Is it a useful part of the larger vision for what you want to
do?
• Will you be able to put adequate resources into it?

Timed
• Look at the goal in the context of your wider plans
• Is it a useful part of the larger vision for what you want
to do?
• Will you be able to put adequate resources into it?
