Achievable — Breaking down large goals into smaller segments makes them more achievable.
Bigger Goal: “I want to open my own bakery.”
Breaking it into smaller goals:
1. Complete a baking course
2. Gain work experience in a bakery
3. Save money for startup costs
4. Develop a business plan
5. Secure a location and necessary permits
6. Open the bakery
Realistic — A realistic goal is something we want and can work toward to achieve it.
Non-example: “I will learn a new language fluently in one week.”
Example: “I will spend one hour every day learning a new language using online resources and practice
with a language partner to become conversational within six months.”
Time-bound — A SMART objective should have a timetable, indicating when the goal must be completed.
This inspires us to take action in order to fully achieve our objectives.
Non-example: “I want to write a book someday.”
Example: “I will write 500 words every day and complete the first draft of my novel in six months.”
Time Management
Anita has always been lazy. Her mother has tried several times to explain the importance of time. However, Anita never
listens. One day, Anita won an online coding competition and was asked to collect her prize from the organiser’s office
the same day. She, however, didn’t bother and only went to collect her prize the next day. Alas! It was too late, the prize
had no value for her. The value of the prize was only equivalent to movie tickets the previous day.
Time management is the ability to plan and control how you spend your time well and do whatever you want. An
example of good time management skills is to finish your homework immediately after school so that you can watch
TV later or play with your friends.
Time management is a thinking skill that helps you:
• get things done on time
• make a daily schedule
• accurately estimate how long it will take to complete chores
• submit assignments and do homework before or on time
• don't waste time postponing activities
