How to set SMART goals

The most effective way to help you set your personal and professional goals is to develop them using “SMART” goals. These help you plan goals that are:

Specific, Measured, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Let’s break down exactly what each of these terms mean.

S: Specific – Be specific. Make sure it’s really clear what you want to achieve and why it is important to you.

M: Measured – Make sure you will be able to measure your progress towards achieving your goal. This will help you keep you on track to meeting your goals.
