Goal setting is a powerful technique that can help individuals achieve success. This process involves setting specific objectives and creating a plan to accomplish them. To be effective, goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Goal setting can be implemented in both personal and professional lives to focus efforts and measure progress. This can be helpful to achieve success in careers, improve health, or pursue personal interests. However, goal setting can be challenging and requires discipline, focus, and perseverance. It is essential to set realistic goals and create a plan to achieve them. Tracking progress and making adjustments as needed is also essential. Here are some tips to help you get started!
Specific: Define what you expect • Determine who will do it • Detail accountability • Use
action verbs, expressing physical or mental action as much as possible • Provide
enough detail - this depends on the objective but should be enough to be clear
Measurable: Identify how you will know the objective was accomplished – usually this means
quantity, but can also be quality!
Attainable: Make sure you have the time, manpower, resources, and authority to accomplish
the objective • Consider if there may be factors beyond your control
Relevant: The objective helps you meet the purpose of the goal
Time Bound: Specify when the objective should be completed • Include time-lined
benchmarks for long-range goals and all objectives
Goal setting is a powerful tool that can help achieve success. By setting clear
objectives and creating a plan to achieve them, you can focus your efforts and measure your
progress towards achieving your goals.
