5 Steps for Setting SMART Goals

We all have moments in our lives where we decide to dream big and set meaningful goals for ourselves. Goal setting is a powerful tool for increasing productivity and can help you to think about your ideal future. But whether it’s professional or personal, we all find ourselves struggling from time to time to meet our goals.

Most of the time we fail to meet our goals not because we lack effort, but because they’re not structured. A better way to clearly define and organize your goals is to set SMART goals. SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based.
