How To Rate Your Goals at the End of the Year

When you have a list of the good and bad things you did last year, you understand how to improve your efficiency for the following. It would be enough to follow the things that went well, or anything similar, and avoid those that troubled you.

But the list only contains the behaviors that helped you achieve or miss a goal. It doesn’t include information about its doability. And if one of your plans wasn’t doable, you should not rank it low if you haven’t achieved it.

The opposite is also true.

Suppose you had two goals:

• Run 10km a day until the end of the year.
• Write 200 words every day for a year.

These goals follow the SMART rules because they are Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. But some factors may influence their end-of-year ranking.

• You will not achieve your goals if you hurt your foot by running too much. But you may have reached good statistics before the injury.
• On the contrary, if you wrote 200 words every day, but the goal wasn’t challenging, don’t rank it high. You need to set better standards.
