Wise goals
Most people have probably heard of SMART goals - writing our goals so they are:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Realistic
- Timebound
and then checking that what we do works towards these goals. But I think that’s a bit boring - where’s the excitement? Where’s the motivation to complete a SMART goal?
I like my goals to be SMART and also to be WISE:
- WOW! Make sure that achieving the goal is a WOW! You really want to do this – for you, not for anyone else.
- IMAGINE What will it be like when this goals is achieved- if you can’t imagine it, then it won’t happen.
- STEP Make sure that your goal is a step forwards. The size of step does not matter – the direction of the step does.
- EXPECTATIONS Make sure your expectations are realistic. Expect to make mistakes, expect to go backwards sometimes. Expect and demand to move forwards.
