Today, in Part 3 we are discussing S.M.A.R.T Planning. 

\n

"The SMART acronym first appeared in the November 1981 issue of Management Review. "There's a S.M.A.R.T. way to write management goals and objectives." was the title and it was written by George Doran, Arthur Miller, and James Cunningham." according to smart-goals-guide.com.

According to the same source: "When the S.M.A.R.T goal was first introduced to the world it was an acronym which stood for: 

\n

S. - Specific 

\n

M. - Measurable 

\n

A. \u2013 Assignable 

\n

R. - Realistic 

\n

T. \u2013 Time-based - In other words when you set a goal you had to ensure it was specific, measurable, assignable, realistic and time-based." 

\n

 

\n

Here are some other words that came be used to perhaps make it better fit your needs. 

\n

"S - Specific, or significant, stretching, stimulating, simple, self-owned, strategic, sensible

\n

M. - Measurable, or meaningful, motivating, manageable, maintainable 

\n

A. \u2013 Achievable, or attainable, action-oriented, appropriate, agreed, assignable, ambitious, accepted, audacious 

\n

R. - Relevant, or rewarding, results-oriented, resourced, recorded, reviewable, robust

\n

T. \u2013 Time based or time-bound, timelined, track-able"
