Are Your New Years' Resolutions SMAART?

Friday January 2, 2009
Whether you call it a New Year's Resolution or a goal, how SMAART it is has a lot to do with how likely you are to achieve it. Are your goals SMAART goals?

What's SMAART?

SMAART is a goal-writing technique, call it a formula if you like, for making sure your goals are complete and well-stated. Here are the necessary parts:

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Action-oriented
Results-oriented
Time-phased

If you missed yesterday's blog, be sure to check out Ron Gross's Learning Project Plan.

Good luck! And Happy New Year!

Please come back and share your journey with others who are on similar quests. We'd love to hear your story.
