What makes a goal SMART

The five criteria that separate a real goal from a vague wish.

The five criteria

  • Specific — exactly what you'll achieve.
  • Measurable — a number to hit.
  • Achievable — realistic with your resources.
  • Relevant — it matters to the bigger picture.
  • Time-bound — a clear deadline.
