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
