As a new year begins, we often reflect on the collection of days that comprised the year before. We think about our resolutions and build a list of “I’m going to” and “I’m not going to” tasks that quickly become overwhelming and just outside our grasp. But what if we took a different approach for 2019? Instead of compiling that big list of resolutions that are destined to fizzle out half way through the first month of the year, perhaps focusing our attention on tasks that support a specific goal or two will set us up for success. SMART goals can help with this process. SMART goals are:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Realistic
• Timely
We’ll spend more time on each of these categories in upcoming articles, but in the meantime, there are many SMART goals templates available for you to work with in crafting your list of desired objectives. After completion of that list, you can then begin the process of applying them. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and achieve your goals all at the same time! How’s that for starting the new year off right?
Great things are coming your way! You just need to get out there and take it all in! Tell us what you’re aiming for in 2019!
