SMART Goals

 Introduction

Using SMART goals helps you ensure that the goals you set are ones you can realistically achieve.

Instructions

Using the

SMART Goals Template [DOCX]

, write three SMART goals for your future: one personal goal, one professional goal, and one academic goal. When writing these goals, try to make them:

• As specific as possible.
• Measurable (How will you know they have been accomplished?)
• Achievable, realistic, and attainable.
• Relevant to what matters to you (they may align with other goals you have).
• Timely (The goals should have a target date for completion.)

Here are two examples:

1. I want to increase my salary from $30,000 to $55,000 a year by December 2022.
2. I want to receive a promotion to Call Center Manager by December 2021
