Making sure your goals are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely) is really important – but you all know that! Here are a few more goal setting hacks to help you on your way.

  • Ask yourself WHY do you need to do this? If we don’t appreciate the purpose or meaning behind the task we are trying to achieve, it is really hard to sustain motivation.
  • Break down your goal into steps. Try to be explicit about each action you need to take and when you are going to do it. Planning and accountability really work.
  • If something is proving too difficult to achieve, try asking ‘is there another way to do this?’ or, ‘do I need some help, what would that look like?’ or, ‘how important is this?’
