SMART GOALS – TEMPLATE
__________________________________________________________________
SMART goals
help improve achievement and success. A
SMART goal clarifies exactly what is expected and the measures used to
determine if the goal is achieved and successfully completed.
A SMART goal is:
Specific :
Linked to what you want, specifically, in your life. Answers the question—Who? and What?
Measurable: The success toward meeting the goal can be measured. Answers the question—How?
Attainable: Goals are realistic and can be achieved in a
specific amount of time and are reasonable.
Relevant (results
oriented): The goals are aligned with what you want in
life; include the expected result.
Time framed:
Goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target or deadline
date.
Examples:
Not a
SMART goal:
·
I want to lose
some weight.
Does not identify a measurement or
time frame, nor identify why the improvement is needed or how it will be used.
SMART
goal:
·
I will lose 30
pounds by the 31st of March, wear a size 8 dress/size 32 waist pants, still
enjoy the foods I eat in moderation, all while doing the things I need to do
each day at work and in my personal life. I will lose the 30 pounds by
averaging a weekly weight loss equal to 1 to 2% of my current weight without
starving myself or exercising like a maniac.
