goal setting theory

Once you have your goals it’s also equally important to make a plan to achieve them, here's how to do it

Specific

What exactly do you want to accomplish? Who needs to be involved? What resources do you need?

Measurable

How will you know when you've reached your goal? How will you measure and track results? Ask yourself how much and how many?

Achievable/Attainable

Does your desire for the goal plus the possibility of achieving it make it attainable? Do you have time to work on this goal? Is there anything you will need to drop to make it happen?

Relevant

Is this goal worthwhile? Does it fit with your aspirations and values? Does it fit with what else you have going on in life currently?

Timebound

When will this goal begin and end? What do you hope to have achieved a quarter of the way and half the way through? Set milestones. Decide on what your acceptable level of the slippage will be.
