How to Set SMART GOALS for 2013



We are almost half way into December and some days away from 2013 this means many people have started making plans and setting goals for the New year.

Some just wish for things while some just set clear goals. If you ask most people what is their one major objective in Next year, they would probably give you a vague answer, such as, "I want to be hammer next year,  or I want to make a good living," and that is it. These are all wishes and not clear goals.

Goals must be SMART:

1. S--specific. For example, "I want to lose weight." This is wishful thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will lose 10 pounds in 90 days."

2. M--must be measurable. If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it. Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress.

3. A--must be achievable. Achievable means that it should be out of reach enough to be challenging but it should not be out of sight, otherwise it becomes disheartening.

4. R--realistic. A person who wants to lose 50 pounds in~30 days is being unrealistic.

5. T--time-bound. There should be a starting date and a finishing date.
