Description

Our year is winding down and before we jump into the new one,
it’s time to celebrate our wins from this year.

And many may ask – what is the difference between a
resolution and a goal.  A resolution
is the overarching theme or the implied direction you wish to take with your
life while goals are the activities that fall within the theme or the
specific steps to take you to that place.

SMART Goals

I am sure this isn’t the first time you’ve heard about “SMART” Goals.  While there are plenty of variants (some of
which we’ve included in parenthesis), SMART usually stands for:

• S – Specific (or
  Significant).
• M – Measurable (or
  Meaningful).
• A – Attainable (or
  Action-Oriented).
• R – Relevant (or
  Rewarding).
• T – Time-bound (or
  Trackable).

Additional tips:

• Express
  your goals positively and with excitement
• Prioritize
  your goals.  If you have 3, which do
  you want to achieve 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd.
• Don’t
  make too many at one time.  When
  have too many goals you are focusing on at one time, everything can seem
  overwhelming and like nothing is getting done.
• Write
  your goals down with pen and paper. 
  Not notes on your phone but in writing…you have a 30% higher change
  of achieving them this way.
