The best ways to set goals
A good method to achieve your goal is to break it down into bite-size pieces using SMART goals.
- S - Specific. Create clear and achievable goals. Instead of wanting to write a book this year, aim for writing one chapter every month.
- M - Measurable. Your progress should be measurable.
- A - Achievable. Aim high, but within reason.
- R - Relevant. You care about your goal rather than thinking you should care about the goal.
- T - Time-bound. Create a timeline with specific dates and deadlines.
