SMART Goals
Turn a vague intention into a goal small enough to do
Vague goals fail quietly. SMART forces the goal to be small enough to do and clear enough to know whether it happened.
The rough goal in your own words
S — Specific
What exactly will you do? (Verb + object)
M — Measurable
How will you know it happened? (Number, frequency, evidence)
A — Achievable
What's the smallest version that's still meaningful?
R — Relevant
Why this goal, why now? Which value does it serve?
T — Time-bound
By when? First check-in date?
Likely obstacle
If-then plan for that obstacle
