Time-bound

Set goals that are:

• Measurable: How will you know when you’ve achieved your goal?
• Attainable: Or realistic. Is it possible to achieve the goal you’ve set for yourself?
• Releva...

Each goal you set should be S.M.A.R.T. — Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.

• Specific: The more specific your goals are, the better chance you have of achieving them.
• Measurable: Can you identify milestones to hit along your way to success?

The most effective way to turn your goal into a habit is to plan ahead. 

You can't hope that your goals will happen to fit into your current schedule, or that by nature you will prioritize it. You have to plan your schedule and block out time.
