Consider what you have learned this week about using the SMART model for goal setting. The SMART model has the following important elements that must be present for the goal to be considered clear and well-set:
·
Specific
: What needs to be accomplished? Who is responsible? Is the plan of action to achieve the goal clear, or is it too vague and you’re unsure where to start?
·
Measurable
: How will you know if the goal has been achieved? What will you measure? A SMART goal will have numbers in it.
·
Achievable
: Can you actually succeed at this goal? Is it doable? A goal should be empowering, not set you up for failure.
·
Realistic
: Is the goal even possible with your skillset and interests? Does the goal fit with your life, schedule, and/or other goals?
·
Time-Related
: What is the timeframe for evaluating the achievement of the goal? Have you allowed too much or too little time?
SMART goals can be set for any area of focus in your life, including academic, career, and personal.
Review the long-term and short-term SMART goal examples below.
Area of Focus: Personal
Long-Term SMART Goal (Example)
Specific |
I want to run a half-marathon. |
|
Measurable |
A half-marathon is 13.1 miles. |
|
Achievable |
I can gradually increase the distances I run for practice. |
|
Realistic |
As a former runner, I know that I will get benefits out of training and see improvements as I go, which will help me stick with my plan. |
|
Time-Related |
I would like to participate in a race in my city that is held in 6 months. |
|
SMART Goal Statement |
My goal is to run a half-marathon in 6 months by gradually increasing the time and distance I run in training. |
Short-Term SMART Goal (Example)
I want to run a short road race as the first step in training for a half-marathon. |
The race I will prepare for is 5 kilometers. |
I have time in my schedule to run for 20–30 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and longer on weekends. |
I have the supplies I need (running shoes and a watch), a plan to incorporate training into my schedule, and encouragement from friends. |
I can be ready to run a 5K race in 3 weeks. |
My goal is to train to participate in a 5K race in 3 weeks by running for at least 20–30 minutes a day, 3–4 days a week. |
Now, let’s get started on writing your own SMART goals. First, pause for a moment, take a breath, and consider what you want to accomplish and/or improve upon in each of the following areas of your life:
· Academic
· Career
· Personal
Choose 2 of the 3 areas to focus on for this goal setting activity and use the tables below to write one long-term SMART goal and two short-term SMART goals (to support achievement of the long-term goal) for each area of focus you have selected. Remember that a long-term goal is something you want to achieve in the long run, such as earning a degree. Short-term goals help break down the long-term goal into manageable steps.
