Goal Setting
Goal setting is a very important factor in your personal and professional life. The process of setting goals in your life
helps you decide how you want to live your life, where you want to be and what you want to be in the future.
Goals can be related to several things like money, health, family, education, career, etc. Goals are constantly changing.
We meet old goals and then establish a new set of goals to achieve. Goals are a set of dreams with an achievable
deadline. For example, during the second covid wave, many people arranged oxygen cylinders for the covid patients in
their local areas. Goal setting is finding and listing your goals and then planning how to achieve them. Goal setting helps
you focus. It enables you to succeed in your career and personal life.

The Procedure of Setting Goals
Goals can be set using the SMART model, which refers to:
S Specific: Define a clear, specific goal.
M Measurable: To ensure you can track progress.
A Attainable: Create a goal that is realistic.
R Relevant: Ensure your goal aligns with your organisation.
T Time-bound: Assign a target date to keep accountability.
How to make Goals SMART?
Specific — A clear and explicit goal provides answers to six questions. Who is involved in the goal? What
do I want to do? Where should I start? When do I start and finish? Which means should I use? Why am I
doing this?
Non-example: I want to learn a musical instrument.
Example: “I want to learn to play the guitar by taking lessons twice a week at the local music school, and
in six months, I will perform at the school's annual talent show.”
Measurable — An easily measured objective answers the questions "How much?" and "How many?" as
well as "How do I understand that I have achieved results?"
Non-example: “I want to improve my fitness.”
Example: “I want to increase my bench press by 20 pounds and be able to run 5 kilometres in under 25
minutes within the next four months.”
