S - Specific
What, Why, and How
  • What are you going to do?
  • Why - is this important to do at this time?
  • What do you want to accomplish?
  • ​How are you going to do it?
Examples:
Poor Example: I will exercise more.
Good Example: I will walk for 30 minutes every day.

M - Measurable
How much and How many?
  • ​If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.
  • You have to be able to see the change occur.
Ask Yourself:
  • How much do I have to do?
  • How many times do I have to do it?

A - Attainable
Setting Yourself up for Success!
  • ​A goal needs to make you slightly uncomfortable, so that you know it needs a real commitment from you; the goal should still be within your reach.
  • Facing and overcoming challenges will motivate you to move on to bigger challenges and more satisfying accomplishments.

R - Realistic
Is the Goal Obtainable?
  • Is the goal doable, nor easy, or ridiculous?
Examples:
Poor Example: I will not watch television.
Realistic Example: I will not watch television until my homework is done.

T - Time-Framed
Must Have a Set Deadline:
  • When do I want to have the goal accomplished?
  • What steps to achieve my goal and keep me on track?
