S.M.A.R.T. GOALS | 1-Page Digital Printable

SMART goals are a widely used framework for setting clear and achievable objectives.

The acronym SMART stands for:

1. Specific: Clearly define what you want to accomplish. Avoid vague goals; focus on the "who," "what," "where," "when," and "why."
2. Measurable: Include criteria for measuring progress and success. Ask yourself, "How will I know when I have achieved my goal?"
3. Achievable: Given your resources and constraints, ensure the goal is realistic and attainable. It should stretch your abilities but remain within reach.
4. Relevant: Align the goal with your broader objectives, values, or priorities. It should matter to you and contribute to your overall purpose.
5. Time-bound: Set a deadline or time frame for achieving the goal. This creates urgency and helps keep you focused.
