The SMART acronym is a formula designed to make goals more attainable. Since your vision consists of goals, it’s the perfect place to start. In essence, SMART is the smartest way to make your goals tangible and easier to realize.
This challenge lays the foundation upon which the other six challenges will be built. It consists of two steps:
- Make a list of the goals that make up your vision for the new year—your resolutions.
- Apply the SMART formula to each goal or resolution.
Here’s how SMART works:
S stands for Specific:
The less ambiguous your goals are, the easier they will be to attain. For instance:
Vague: “I will lose weight.”
Specific: “I will lose 20 pounds by the end of the year.”
Vague: “I will make more money.”
