New Year is time for making resolutions and planning your goals for the coming year. This year, make sure you reach your goals by making them SMART. Many people use the SMART method for setting goals in business but it works really well for personal goals, too. A SMART goal should be:
Specific
Don’t be general, explain exactly what you want to achieve. If you have general goals, break them down into more specific ones. Make your goals specific so you can focus on reaching them.
Measurable
Find a way to measure your achievement. This is important because it means you can evaluate to what extent you have reached your goal.
Achievable
There’s no point in setting goals you will never reach. Make sure your goals are achievable but not too easy.
Relevant
The goals should be relevant to your bigger plans for the future. Will your goal help you get where you want to go in life? If not, choose a different one.
Time-bound
It’s easy to keep putting off plans and if you do that you will never achieve your goals. Set a specific time for when you want to have reached your goal to make sure it actually happens.
