#1 Specific
The "Specific" component of SMART goals refers to the need for a goal to be well-defined and clearly outlined. A specific goal should answer questions such as "What do I want to accomplish?" and "How will I know when I have achieved it?" When a goal is specific, it helps to focus attention and avoid confusion or distractions.
A specific goal helps focus, track progress, measure success, and stay motivated. To set specific goals, it's important to be detailed and precise for a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and how.
