 Setting Goals

S = Specific

M = Measurable

A = Attainable

R = Realistic

T = Timely
Specific – What, Why and How?

Measurable – If you can’t measure it , you can’t manage

it

Attainable – Goals you set which are too far out of your
reach, you probably won't commit to doing.

Realistic - This is not a synonym for "easy."

Realistic, in this case, means "do-able."

Timely :-  Set a timeframe for the goal: for next week, in

three months, by fifth grade. Putting an end point on your
goal gives you a clear target to work towards.
