Goal Setting

learning-topic Progress:

You need to establish goals to prioritize and organise your work related tasks.

You should establish long-term and short-term goals for your personal and professional life. It is important to align your short-term work goals with your manager’s. It is also important that you create SMART goals.

Goals cannot be achieved if they are impossible. SMART goals make it easier to achieve success because you know that success is within your reach.

Goals must be specific. An example of a specific goal is, reply to all emails.

Measurable goals allow you to realize when they are attained. For example, research for one hour each day.

All goals, particularly short-term goals, need to be attainable. For example, completing a project a week early is probably not attainable.

Goals must be relevant to your situation. A goal to learn a new language is probably not relevant to a financial project.

Goals require specific deadlines. For example, complete the project by 5:00 pm on Friday.
