What does SMART stand for?
Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-bound
What does the “S” in SMART help us with?
Specificity. It tells the person what their goal is. It may include a series of steps towards the overall goal.
What does the “M” in SMART help us with?
Measurable. It means it will be easy to know when goals are achieved. For example, we would know when someone has ran 100m in the Cooper Run.
What does the “A” in SMART help us with?
Achievable. Goals must be attainable,unachievable goals could lead to demotivation.
What does the “R” in SMART help us with?
Realistic. A goal may be achievable in practice, but are there other reasons that may hinder the completion of that goal. E.g the gym was closed so I couldn’t do weight training.
What does the “T” in SMART help us with.
Time-bound. Does the goal have an end point, if not it is easy to put off achieving indefinitely.
