SMART

SMART is a framework for setting effective goals. It stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This means your goal should clearly define what you want to accomplish, have criteria to track progress, be realistic given your resources, align with your broader objectives, and have a deadline. Using SMART helps ensure goals are well-structured, actionable, and easier to accomplish, increasing your chances of success by providing clarity and focus.
