23 hours agoI was taught at some point in my life about “SMART Goals”
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-Bound
The work we had to do was stupid and tedious, but setting goals according to this scheme has actually positively affected my life
Agreed in every point. I do use just about the whole acronym personally, cause I do struggle a bit with specificity and timeliness in my goals when I don’t.
Especially your last point in the parentheses, a lot of people tell me “you need to be more realistic.”
No I don’t, you just asked for the wrong thing. You asked for my long term plan when what you wanted to know was “where do you wanna be in 6 months.” Long term isn’t 6 months to me, I have a 1000 year plan for my nonprofit. But if you wanna know what I’ve got in store for 6 months from now, then I can tell you that too because I’ve got steps to follow.
Don’t shoot for the moon and hope to end up in the stars. Create a detailed plan to get to get to the moon, and then get to the stars from there
