The smart way to set goals
Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’re determined to take action, take the following into account.
71 For example, instead of setting a goal of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, start your research, set a date and train yourself for climbing.
M IS For MEASURABLE. Don’t aim to “become healthy” or “less stressed”. 72 For example, aim to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week, or to have no more than 200 grams of choclolate a week.
A IS FOR ACHIEVABLE. 73 Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to aim for the stars—baby steps are good too!
R IS FOR RELEVANT. 74 A few weeks down the track, the goals fail to inspire. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather, choose goals that really “speak” to you.
T IS FOR TIME-CONSCIOUS. Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. 75 You’ll also learn whether you need to work harder to make the deadline.
A. S IS FOR SPECIAL.
B. S IS FOR SPECIFIC.
C. That way, you will know when you’ve succeeded or failed.
D. To get excellent grades, be sure to take detailed steps for it.
E. Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong.
F. If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t aim to compete in the 2012 Olympics.
G. Instead, set a goal that can be measured while making an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan.
