Creating Goals Make Them More Likely

We're much more likely to reach goals if we set them in the first place.  The beginning of the year is one of the many times to do so but how we set them up contributes to our likelihood of accomplishing and maintaining them.
There's a helpful acronym to use when setting goals, called S.M.A.R.T.:​
  • Specific:  Be clear and unambiguous.  Sometimes it’s helpful to answer the 5 W Questions of what, why, who, where, and when.
  • Measurable:  Set measurable outcomes. Make sure we know whether we're making progress and the goal is attained.
  • Attainable:  Is it realistic & achievable to accomplish?  If not, change it.
  • Relevant:  Is it important and in alignment with my core values?
  • Time-bound:  Having a specific time-frame for our goal helps to keep things in focus & have some accountability for it. Is this a one time goal or something we want to sustain & maintain for a longer period of time?
