• Are my goals S.M.A.R.T.? • How will I measure my progress? Kwantlen Polytechnic
University. (n.d.). (Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers, n.d.). Specific: Your
goal will clearly define what you are going to accomplish. You will ask and answer the What
and Why of your goal. Measurable: You will identify criteria for measuring progress toward
the attainment of each goal you set. This will be the definition of How you will attain your
goal. • How will you know when the result that you want has been achieved? • How will
you verify your achievement/performance of this goal? Attainable: Is it possible for you to
achieve your desired goal? Can you see a path to your accomplishment? You are the Who in
this goal setting process. It is your positive attitude that will allow you to draw on your
current strengths and develop new ones as you meet your goal. Relevant: Realistic goals
must represent an objective toward which you are willing to work and which are relevant to
you. You need to identify Where this goal will take you. A goal can be both high and realistic;
you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. Just be sure that
each of your goals represents substantial progress. Time Bound: You need to create a sense
of personal urgency by setting times for each step along the way. Knowing When you have
to accomplish a task keeps to on track and accountable. What needs to be done by when? Be
timely! (Kwantlen Polytechnic University, n.d.).
