  2. S.m.a.r.t. goal • S.M.A.R.T. stands for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. • To structure and track your goals and objectives we need to create a SMART goal of your own. • A SMART goal helps develop clear milestones and estimates attainability. • Making your goal SMART, brings it closer to reality! • First, think of a small goal you want to set right now (personal or professional). • Now, lets get started…

  3. specific • When starting your goal make sure it is clear and specific. The more descriptive and detailed, the better. • Questions to ask yourself when setting your goals: • What exactly do you want to achieve? • How do you want to achieve it? • When do you want to achieve it? • Where do you want to achieve it? • Example: By March 9th (Spring Break), I want to drop a minute off my mile run. I will start by adding an extra 30 minutes of cardio daily.

  4. Measurable • Imagine your goal has been reached. Exactly what do you want to see, hear and feel at that time? • Breaking your goal into measurable elements is what we want you to do. • When a goal is measureable it is easier to achieve, making it easier on yourself. • Measurable= less setbacks, less obstacles, less excuses. • Example: Lose 20 pounds in a month or Lose 20 pounds in 3 months? • Which is more realist and measurable?

  5. attainable • If your goal is attainable, that means it is acceptable to you. • Make sure effort, time and other costs are being weighed when preparing your SMART goal. • Make sure to including other obligations and priorities you have in life. • Example: Meal prep every Sunday for the next 2 months. • Can you achieve this? Does this work well with your schedule? Are Sunday’s usually a busy day? If yes, do not make a goal that will interfere with your daily routines. • Start out small and work your way up. *Meal Prep every Sunday at 7pm for the next month.

  6. relevant • Is reaching your goal relevant to you? • If you lack in a certain skill, find ways to better yourself. • The main questions to ask yourself: • Why do you want to reach this goal? • What is the objective behind the goal? • Will this goal really achieve that?

  7. timely • Time is everything! Have a schedule for everything you do. • Deadlines are what gets the job done, it’s what makes most people switch to action! • Make deadlines and go after them! Give yourself something to reach for. • Make sure to keep the timeline realistic and flexible. • Example: On my days off (Tuesday and Thursday), I will study from 6pm-7pm before doing anything else.
