If you want to increase your chances of success, then you have to be very specific and concrete, as well as realistic and strategic. In other words, you want to set goals that are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely.
Specific: You want to get very detailed about what you want to do.
Measurable: You need to be able to tell whether you’re making progress.
Attainable: You want realistic goals that you can accomplish.
Relevant: Your goals need to fit with your values and capabilities.
Timely: You need to define specifically when you’d like to complete your goals by—for example, in the next six or 12 months.
The other essential part of setting goals is accurately assessing your resources (knowing your strengths) and anticipating obstacles or challenges that might come up. You can’t know the future, but you can prepare for it.
Consider your own psychology when establishing goals:
