Measurable: avoid any abstract notions – you should be able to tick “done” any goal you set as well as any step it involves
Achievable: Make sure you have enough time and resources (money, free time, energy) to achieve it
Relevant: your personal goals should be relevant to your life goals and feel rewarding
Timed: set a deadline for achieving each goal and subgoal.

Set Goals in the Middle | Scott H Young

Classic goal-setting theory says that you first set a goal, then you make a plan to achieve it and finally you start taking action. Recently, I've begun to question the wisdom of this approach. Now, I'm inclined to believe that, for certain types of efforts, you're better of setting goals in the middle.

Goal-Setting

Any goal or project will usually have these basic qualities:

A general ambition or motivation. (e.g. learn French)
A specific target. (e.g. speak fluently)

Goals To Start In The Middle

When a goal has high uncertainty as to what level is achievable to reach within a particular time-frame, it is better to set specific targets in the middle of the process.

Plan your goals with the variables you do have: overall direction, time-frame, level of effort and strategies.

Reasons To Postpone Goal-Setting

Uncertain goals should be set in the middle. This will enable you to set the correct challenge level to maximize effort.
Some research shows that for very complex tasks, goal-setting can hinder effectiveness. This is because complex tasks are cognitively demanding in the beginning and can be frustrating because you can't perform adequately. To add on more tasks can impair your performance.

How to set your Personal OKRs and stick to them

For the last few years, I've been fascinated by habit forming, personal development, and the process of "self actualisation" - unlocking the best possible version of yourself. I'm not interested in the sort of "self-help" personal development that focuses on building confidence and "getting what you want in life" - I'm much more interested in systems and frameworks that help people improve themselves over time and achieve clear measurable goals.
