So, What is a SMART Goal?

A SMART Goal is simply a goal where the SMART criteria have been met. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Timebound. A SMART goal is also easier to achieve, and track progress for, because it’s well-rounded and clearly defined.

SMART Goals Stand For:

• Specific (being clear and specific makes goals and actions easier to achieve — and start!)
• Measurable (helps you know when a goal or action is complete and measure progress)
• Actionable (ensures you have direct control over the actions needed to achieve the goal)
• Realistic (avoid overwhelm and unnecessary stress and frustration by making the goal realistic)
• Timebound (helps us stay focused and motivated, inspiring us with a date to work towards)
