It all starts with Goal Setting

  • Project Goals

Without clear goals, productivity becomes random. Goals give direction and help

individuals decide what deserves attention.

 Goals setting technique

Your goal should be SMART:

Specific: Clear and focused

  • With a specific goal you can clearly see what it is you want to achieve.
    • Example goal before “specific” criteria:
      • “I Want to get better at typing.”
    • Example goal after “Specific” criteria:
      • “ I want to increase my typing speed.”

Measurable: Progress can be tracked

  • Feeling the progress is very important for you to stay motivated and enjoy the process of achieving the goal. 
    • Example goal before “measurable”:
      • “I will increase my typing speed.” 
    • Example goal after “measurable”
      • “I would like to increase my typing speed from 50 words per minute to 65 words per minute, and I can measure my progress by taking timed tests that show the increase in my typing speed.”

Achievable: Realistic and possible

  • An attainable goal is a goal for which you see a realistic path to achievement, and reasonable odds that you get there. 
    • Example goal before ”Achievable”:
      • “ I will increase my typing speed of 50 words per minute to 100 words per minute.” 
    • Example goal after “Achievable” criteria”
      • “ I would like to increase my typing speed of 50 words per minute to 65 words per minute, and I can achieve this goal by making small increases in my typing speed each week.”

Relevant: Aligned with responsibilities

  • Your goals should align with your values and long-term objectives.
    • Example goal before “relevant” criteria:
      • “I would like to increase my typing speed, so I will set aside 15 minutes every day to organize my workspace.”
    • Example goal after “relevant” criteria:
    • “ I would like to increase my typing speed from 50 words per minute to 65 words per minute, so I will set aside 15 minutes every day to practice my typing and take timed speed tests.”

 

Time-bound: Has a deadline

  • Your goal should have a specific time limit. 
    • Example goal before “time-bound” criteria:
      • ” I will increase my typing speed of 50 words per minute to 65 per minute.”
    • Example goal after “time-bound” criteria:
      • “I will increase my typing speed of 50 words per minute to 65 words per minute within three months. I will set aside 15 minutes each day to practice at speed and take timed tests weekly to measure my progress.”
