S.M.A.R.T

Make your goal focused and well-defined. A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.

Draft realistic goals. Based on the present restrictions such as your schedule, workload, and knowledge, do you believe you can attain the objective you set? If not, then set a different goal, one that is attainable for you in the present.

Make the goal relevant to your life's reality. For instance, if a weight-loss buddy thinks your goal should be to compete in a ballroom dancing competition, but you hate ballroom dancing and have stage fright, choose a different goal.

  • List down the important milestones along the way to your target. You can pair each milestone with a reward.
  • Remember, your goal will be attainable if you truly believe that it can be accomplished.
  • Try making a list of people, things and general resources you'll need to achieve your goal.
  • Use the power of visualization. What would it feel like to taste, smell, touch your goal?
