Goal setting is a crucial element of planning that serves as a compass that guides individuals towards success and fulfilment, and there are many reasons why it is so important to get it right.
Firstly, setting goals provides clarity and direction, allowing you to define what you truly want to achieve and establish a clear path to reach your desired destination. Goals help prioritise efforts and channel energy towards meaningful pursuits, preventing aimless wandering and wasted potential.
Moreover, goals provide motivation and drive, igniting a sense of purpose and determination that propels individuals forward, even in the face of challenges. By setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART) goals, people can track their progress, celebrate milestones, and stay accountable themselves.
Ultimately, goal setting empowers individuals to unlock their full potential, make meaningful progress and live a purpose-driven life.
SMARTER goals are a refined and enhanced version of the traditional SMART goal-setting framework.
SMARTER goals are:
‘Specific’ ensures that goals are well-defined and focused, leaving no room for ambiguity.
‘Measurable’ involves establishing clear criteria or metrics to objectively track progress and determine success.
‘Achievable’ reminds individuals to set realistic goals that are within their reach, considering available resources and capabilities.
‘Realistic’ emphasises the alignment of goals with broader aspirations and values, ensuring they are meaningful and significant.
‘Time-bound’ sets a specific timeframe or deadline for achieving the goal, providing a sense of urgency and preventing procrastination.
‘Ecological’ refers to the understanding of how our own ecosystems can be affected by our choices, and motivate you by defining how your goals will benefit your community.
Lastly, ‘Rewarding’ makes sure your goals are fulfilling your core values and not conforming to others’ expectations.
