SMART Goals
Specific - Target the behavior or action you
desire; answer who, what, when, where, why.
Measurable- Establish criteria so you will know
when you're done.
Attainable- Choose an objective toward which you
are both willing and able to work.
Realistic - Aim high but be sensible. Only you
will know where to draw this line.
Time-based- Set within a timeframe to create a
sense of urgency; review your goals regularly.
Really SMART goals are written down!
