SMART goals

SMART goals are a way of formulating goals so that they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.

Definition

The SMART model helps turn a general intention into an actionable and verifiable goal. The most common abbreviations are: specific, measurable, achievable or attainable, relevant or realistic and time-bound. It's an organizational tool, not a guarantee of success - it works best when the goal is linked to values, resources and regular review of progress.

Practice and life

Rewrite the general intention in the format: what exactly I will do, how many times, by when, why and how I will check the result.

Common misunderstanding

It's a mistake to create a goal that looks professional but has no real place on the calendar. A common mistake is also focusing on the metric instead of meaningful behavior.
