SMART Defined S.M.A.R.T is a mnemonic used to
set objectives, for example for project management, employee performance management and personal development.
The first known uses of the term occur in the November 1981 issue of Management Review by George T. Doran.

SMART Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance
of being accomplished than a general goal; To set a specific goal you must answer the six "Wh"
questions:1. Who: Who is involved? 2. What: What do I want to accomplish? 3. Where: Identify a location. 4. When: Establish a time frame. 5. Which: Identify requirements and constraints. 6. Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of
accomplishing the goal.

SMART Measurable: Establish concrete criteria for
measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set;
To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as;
How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished?

SMART Attainable: When you identify goals that are
most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true;
You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them;
How can the goal be accomplished?

SMART Relevant: A relevant goal must represent an
objective that the goal-setter is willing and able to work towards;
This does not mean the goal cannot be high; A goal is probably relevant if the goal-setter
believes that it can be accomplished; Does this seem worthwhile?

SMART Time Limited: the importance of grounding goals
within a time frame; giving them a target date . A commitment to a deadline helps Students focus
their efforts on completion of the goal on or before the due date.
When? What can I do 6 weeks from now? What can I do 6 days from now? What can I do today?

You can achieve any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps.
Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them.
When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them.
