Recommended: The importance of setting realistic goals

Originally, I wrote my goals to be an overall, broad objective I hoped to achieve without specific timeframes in mind of when I wanted to accomplish these goals. For example, the first goal I identified for myself was to “Obtain my MBA degree.” I did not specify my time for completion. When refining my goal, I set a specific objective to complete my MBA within two years. Second, I did not create my goals easily measurable or achievable. Highlighted in my second original goal, I stated I wanted to make one hundred percent of my due dates at work. In it’s unrefined form, I created an unachievable goal. How would I identify when I completed my expectations? To refine my goal into a SMART goal, I added a timeframe and an action plan on how I would

  • Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals to Achieve your Dreams

    1348 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first step in reaching a long-term goal is to understand the S.M.A.R.T. goal process. Simply using the words specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound can be a bit confusing. After a bit of research, I was able to better define the method. Using a S.M.A.R.T. Goal worksheet provided by Tatt (2012), I was able to understand the definition of each word in the acronym. In other words, specific stands for the who, what, where, why, and when of the goal. Measurable is explained by asking how much, how often, and how many. Attainable asks if the goal achievable. Relevant is defined as how it applies to your ultimate vision. Finally, time-bound is a time-restraint you establish to complete the specific goal. Furthermore, there is a section for intention or in other words, the long-term goal (Tatt, 2012). By filling out this worksheet I was able to first state my intention and then break it down further into smaller specific goals that would eventually lead up to the final picture. By choosing just one specific goal at a time and achieving that success, it becomes much easier to complete your overall dream.

  • Importance Of SMART Goals On Mental Health

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    The SMART goal I set for myself was to eat healthier by the end of the semester. In the early part of this semester, I was successful. I gathered information on foods that would be good for me to eat and snack on throughout the day and I had my grocery list written before I went into the store to not get sidetracked. However, as the semester progressed my eating habits lacked and no longer went to get groceries and often forgot to eat if I did not set a reminder or my grandmother brought food. I was not successful in meeting my SMART goal. One of the barriers I believe that kept me from reading my goal was my constant anxiety over school and life in general. I found myself often worrying over those things and not really feeding myself until

    The first goal consists of learning how to manage free time better and not getting too caught up in it. Back in high school, I barely had any free time and was that friend that could never meet up because I already had a prior commitment to soccer. For example, in 10th grade, after I was done with classes, I would have volunteer work for an hour, then volleyball practice, and then soccer practice. Being involved in so many time consuming extracurricular activities meant that I did not get home until after 10:30pm and could not start my homework since I would have to take a shower and eat dinner. Ever since I started attending Northeastern University, I have become less efficient in terms of time management. Never haven been used used to having so much free time after being done with class, I spent most of it wasting my time instead of working on assignments because I thought that I would have enough time to do it later. This eventually affected my sleeping schedule and taking three naps a day was customary. I still find myself following this same pattern during my second year and now that the teamwork workload has considerably increased, I cannot afford to take naps. Although my grades this semester have improved from the previous one, I

  • Personal Narrative: My SMART Goals

    Three of my personal SMART goals would be Specific, Measurable, and Realistic. Being Specific is a must because I have learned that whatever you put your mind to do, you can do it. If I want to make an “A” in University Success, then I know I must do my work and push to make that “A” rather than saying I want a good grade. Specific goes along with my reason for attending college. I have specific goals in life that I would love to complete and therefore I have to do the work that comes along with it. Being Measurable allows me to stay on track with everything. With my life goals I know by the age of 23 no later than the age of 24 I would like to have my degree to work on bigger things , I set my target and this pushes me to have this completed.
