How To Set Effective S.M.A.R.T. Goals (and stick with them).

Today, we're talking about how to set S.M.A.R.T. Goals and actually stick with them.  

There's a new year upon us and, chances are, you've got goals. And that's great! But there are a couple of reasons that people fail to reach their goals when they create them inside their minds.

Mainly because their goals are:  

- Too vague  

- Too big of a goal or a dream (which we're going to get into today)  

- They're not relevant to the main thing that they really want to work towards  

- They have no defined start and end date  

So today we're going to go over how to set better goals and even gamify those goals by using the S.M.A.R.T. framework.   

S.M.A.R.T. stands for...  

Specific  

Measurable  

Attainable  

Relevant  

Time-bound.  

We want to use this as a checklist to make sure that our goals truly are S.M.A.R.T. goals and then we need a system that makes sticking with those goals easy and fun. We use S.M.A.R.T. Goals because they give us clarity and focus which allow us to take action. And that's why the S.M.A.R.T. framework is so effective.
