A SMART goal is a clear and realistic goal that helps you know exactly what you want to accomplish and how you will measure your progress. SMART stands for:
Specific – Clearly state what you want to accomplish.
Measurable – Explain how you will track your progress or success.
Achievable – Make sure the goal is realistic and possible.
Relevant – Make sure the goal is important and connected to what you want to accomplish.
Time-Bound – Set a deadline or timeframe for reaching the goal.
In simple terms, a SMART goal turns a general idea into a clear plan that you can work toward and measure.
