Ask yourself questions like: How much? How many? And, how will I know when I achieve my goal?
Attainable- When you identify your goal and determine how you are going to achieve your goal, you see how attainable it is and how much effort it will require.
Look at the workload associated with this goal and be sure that it will not get in the way of other projects you are working on and that you will be able to dedicate enough time to achieving your goal.
Timely- As we have mentioned in a few of the SMART steps, time is important. No goal is achievable if you don’t have the time for it. All goals should be kept within a well detailed time frame.
One way you can measure this is to compare your current goal’s time frame to that of a past goal. If you were able to achieve like tasks within a similar time frame, you can feel confident in your ability to achieve your current SMART Goal.
SMART Goals provide the clarity and focus required to get the most out of your efforts. They also omit the possibility of overlooking major or minor details that will help or hinder your efforts towards achieving your goals. SMART Goals are a great way of getting yourself mentally prepared for what’s ahead. With more knowledge of what has to be done, you will be focused and aware of times when your attention should be aimed elsewhere.
