You Can!

I love setting goals.  The process motivates me and helps me move forward.  I don't always achieve them and I've made peace with that, but I have learned a few things that make the achievement more likely.

Have you heard of making SMART Goals?

Specific
Measurable
Achievble
Realistic
Time bound

How about SMARTER Goals?

Simple
Motivational
Aligned (with who you are and what you value)
Resourced (help to achieve your goal)
Trackable
Enjoyable
Revisit (is it still the right goal for you?)
