What the SMART Goal Builder does

Measurable and Time-bound do most of the work. Without a number you cannot tell whether you are progressing, and without a deadline there is never a reason to start today. Those two alone convert most vague intentions into something actionable.

How it works

Using the SMART Goal Builder

  1. 1State what you want to achieve, as specifically as you can.
  2. 2Define how you will measure it — a number, not a feeling.
  3. 3Check it is realistic given your actual constraints.
  4. 4Confirm it matters to your wider aims.
  5. 5Set a deadline, and assemble the finished goal statement.
