Goal Setting

SMART Goals Guide
Specific	What exactly needs to be accomplished? Who else will be involved? Where will this take place? Why do I want to accomplish the goal?
Measurable	How will I know I've succeeded? How much change needs to occur? How man accomplishments or actions will it take?
Attainable	Do I have, or can I get, the resources needed to achieve the goal? Is the goal a reasonable stretch for me? (neither out of reach nor too easy) Are the actions I plan to take likely to bring success
Relevant	Is this a worthwhile goal for me right now? Is it meaningful to me-or just something others think I should do? Would it delay or prevent me from achieving a more important goal? Am I willing to commit to achieving this goal?
Time-Bound	What is the deadline for reaching the goal? When do I need to take action? What can I do today?
