SMART Goals

SMART-R goal setting provides a structured approach to setting goals. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, timely, and include rewards. Specific goals clearly define what you want to achieve. Measurable goals allow you to track progress. Attainable goals are acceptable and possible to achieve. Relevant goals are important to you. Timely goals have deadlines. Rewards recognize and celebrate efforts and accomplishments. Positively formulated goals that focus on increases, rather than decreases, are more motivating and easier to achieve.

2.5 SMART-R Goals

What is SMART-R goal setting?

SMART-R goal setting brings structure and traceability into your goals and objectives. Instead
of vague resolutions, SMART-R goal setting creates verifiable paths to a specific objective, with
clear milestones and an estimation of the goal's attainability. Any goal can be made SMART,
and as such, brought closer to reality. To make your goal SMART, it needs to conform to the
following criteria:

Specific
What exactly do you want to achieve? The more specific your description, the bigger the
chance you'll get exactly that. It’s the difference between 'I want to be a millionaire' and 'I
want to make CHF 50.000 a month for the next ten years by creating a new software product'.
Questions you may ask yourself when setting your goals and objectives are
What exactly do I want to achieve?
Where?
How?
When?
With whom?
What are the conditions and limitations?
Why exactly do I want to reach this goal? What are possible alternative ways of
achieving the same?

Measurable
Measurable goals mean that you identify exactly what it is you will see, hear and feel when
you reach your goal. It means breaking your goal down into measurable elements. You'll need
concrete evidence.
To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as How much? How many? How
will I know when it is accomplished?

Attainable
Is your goal attainable? That means investigating whether the goal really is acceptable to you.
You weigh the effort, time and other costs your goal will take against the profits and the other
obligations and priorities you have in life.

Relevant
Is reaching your goal relevant to you? The main questions, why do you want to reach this
goal? What is the objective behind the goal, and will this goal really achieve that?

Timely
Make a tentative plan of everything you do. Install deadlines for yourself and go after them.
Keep the timeline realistic and flexible, that way you can keep morale high.

Reward
A crucial aspect of goal setting is reward: recognizing your efforts during the goal and at
completion. Celebrating your successes will have a positive influence on completing future
goals. The reward should be equivalent to the effort it takes to achieve the goal. For example,
if you have two goals, and one is to learn excel and the other is to finish a Master’s program,
the reward for finishing the Master’s program should be much larger than that for completing
an excel workshop.

Positive Goals
Another thing that's very important when setting SMART-R goals, is to formulate them
positively. What you focus on should increase not decrease. For example:
Say – “Say 5 positive statements per week to my colleagues”.
Do not say – “Stop criticizing my colleagues”
Positively formulated goals are easier to achieve and are more motivating.
