S pecific M A R T E Goal Setting Model Smart goals are specific. Specific goals are much more likely to be accomplished than vague ones! A specific goal can be determined by asking the following questions: WHO is involved? Smart goals don’t depend on the involvement of too many people - remember, the only person you can control is yourself, so the achievement of your goal should depend on you. WHAT do you want to accomplish? Define your aim, so you will have a clear idea of what you are aiming for. A vague ‘I want to be a better person’ is not specific enough! WHERE will you work on your goal? Identify a location or locations where most of the work towards your goal will be carried out. If your home is the main base, you may need to revamp a few things. WHEN do you hope to accomplish your goal? Set a time frame and specific deadline for completion. Having a specific end date will keep you from procrastinating. WHICH factors will affect the success of your goal? What requirements do you have, and what limitations will you have to deal with? Being prepared for obstacles makes them easier to surmount. WHY do you want to reach this goal? The reasons behind your choice of a goal are just as important as the goal itself. Looking at those reasons can often tell you quite a bit about yourself!

How will I know when the goal is reached? Charts are a great way for you to track your progress and measure how much of your goal you have achieved.

As you stretch to reach the goals you set for yourself, you find out you are capable of more than you ever thought possible. You set goals higher each time as you grow more confident.

What if I can't complete a goal? First, don't get discouraged:Most noteworthy accomplishments are not common. Because, if something were easy, then everyone would be doing it & it would no longer be very noteworthy Recognize Partial accomplishment: Suppose you're CGPA is 2.3, your goal was to increase study time by 3 hours to raise your GPA to 2.5? If you manage to increase study time and your GPA to 2.45, then it's important to recognize the huge improvement. Acknowledging partial success is very important if you intend to set challenging goals Break large difficult goals into smaller manageable goals: Large complex goals can be overwhelming & discouraging
