Setting SMART Goals

Last week I was in Toronto shopping at my most favorite athletic wear store (Lululemon Athletica) and was using a gift certificate I had received from Christmas. Along with the certificate was a booklet that encouraged setting yearly career, personal and fitness goals. The booklet gave a great acronym to help remind you how to write goals. SMART was the acronym they used.

S- Specific M- Measurable A- Attainable R- Realistic T- Timely

I have seen this approach to goal setting before (as you may have too) but the way Lululemon presented it was so timely and simple. I thought it would be a good thing share this time of the year. So I’m passing SMART on to you for your 2007 resolution and goal setting. If you have already written your goals, put them to the SMART test. Remember, goals that are written down are more likely to be achieved!
