The key to remember here is this: smart goal setting is about
setting goals that are challenging but realistically achievable - no
point setting a goal for the sake of it and knowing there isn't a
hope that you'll ever achieve it - that would be pretty
demoralizing, not to mention slightly stupid!
STEP FIVE - TIME-BASED - BY WHEN should this be done?
In this case do we have a deadline by which this goal should be
achieved in ord er that we might measure the outcome? The
short answer is YES, we do.
So, in this example, out of the 5 steps, only one has been
correctly defined. How helpful would it be to you if your goals
are this vague? - Is this SMART goal setting? ----- Well, NO!
The solution to better planning is to
define challenging, but realistic goals,
then think ahead about what, how and by
when exactly you want to achieve, be very
specific about your data ... and to plan
regular evaluations.
