Start With a Clear Intention

Before we dive into the art of high-impact goal setting, we need to first have a clear understanding of why we’re setting our goals in the first place.

The What: Quality Check Your Goals

With our “why” defined, we now have a solid foundation to establish “what” our goals will actually be.

You can follow the SMART Method, an approach that’s commonly attributed to Peter Drucker’s Management by Objectives concept.

Your goal should be:

  • Specific (i.e. clear and unambiguous)
  • Measurable (i.e. quantifiable)
  • Achievable (i.e. realistic)
  • Relevant (i.e. makes sense given your interests, knowledge, expertise, and/or circumstances)
  • Time-bound (i.e. has a set start and end date).

Establish An OKR

One can set the metric of accountability by establishing OKRs(Objectives and Key Results) that are directly related to the goals.

The benefit of doing so is that it keeps you accountable and provides you with quantifiable targets that you can measure your progress against.
