Tips for Goal Setting

Tips for setting your goals

Many goals have the best intentions, but give yours a better chance by making them S.M.A.R.T. - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timebound.

Specific

Your goals need to be clearly defined – what precisely you will accomplish.

Measurable

Especially to track progress, a good goal needs data to quantify if you’re getting there.

Attainable

A ‘moonshot’ goal is fine, but breaking it into bite-sized chunks keeps it achievable.

Relevant

Does your goal make sense for you and your situation? Does it match your values?

Timebound

Every goal needs a timeline. How far off is it, exactly? When will it happen by?
