I recently attended the “SMART as Hell” workshop hosted by our employer and honestly you boiled down the one day class into less than 5 minute video. Great work 👍.
00:09 SMART is an acronym to structure and evaluate goals. 00:37 Specific goals are easier to measure and achieve 01:00 Measurement of goals is crucial for determining success. 01:38 Importance of reliable weight measurement for SMART goals. 02:03 Break down main goal into manageable sub-goals 02:31 Setting SMART goals involves effort, value, and time constraints 03:04 Setting SMART goals helps in creating actionable plans. 03:29 Goal-setting is an ongoing process
There are a few variants of the model I've encountered. S is always Specific M is always Measurable T is always Time-Bound But A is sometimes Attainable, sometimes Achievable, sometimes Actionable. And R is sometimes Relevant, sometimes Realistic. It depends who you ask!
In 1981 the “a” was for assignable. George Doran offered assignable for managers in the original SMART model. Achievable is a common version, but there is no standard. Use what works for you. Some versions also add -er for SMARTER. Actionable helps to focus on practical steps to move towards the goal. Whether or not a goal is achievable is often unknown, especially if we are setting challenging goals.
Appreciate Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Peytonivon Abs Takeover (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off product for mastering life with this simple goal setting technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy at last got cool results with it.
Kudos for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Peytonivon Abs Takeover (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for mastering life with this simple goal setting technique without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy at last got amazing success with it.
I would consider which of those things are most meaningful to you or that might have the most impact for your community. A second consideration is if any of those activities support each other. A good tool to use to figure out which direction to go is called SWOT. It can be used to consider multiple goals and the path you wish to take. ua-cam.com/video/goxMsPCs_z0/v-deo.html
Dream big. But back it up with an action plan. SMART goals lead you to chart out that do-able Action Plan, which in turn can help you achieve all your big dreams.
this is a good vidieo i really learnd valuble lessens about goal setting always wanted to know the meaning of S.M.A.R.T. it is good to learn and vidios say about say goals dont say wish say goals like my goal is to win this race
This was a very explanatory and very helpful video on S.M.A.R.T. Goals/Decision Skills, and the content of this video just reinforce my learning skills on this topic. Great video I recommended to everyone.
I really enjoyed how you presented this. I found SMART goals really useful, although I've seen some people go wrong by trying to apply SMART to "life's purpose" as opposed to goals. I've often found it's useful to check for impact bias when exploring possible goals. Thanks for this video, very clear.
I think this version is very sensible. I've seen a version where the A and R were 'achievable' and 'realistic'. Those two are too close to the same meaning. In business school it was taught to be action-based and realistic OR relevant. I think action-based and relevant are better attributes to use to help formulate better goals. But, only if you can remember to keep goals realistic without using this acronym. Or, if you simply remember that R has alternative meanings and that's enough to remind you to consider if it's realistic. In either case, it's a great way to help you organize your thinking.
I have seen versions that add an additional -ER, for SMARTER goals. This allows for both realistic and relevant. The E is executable and the A is 'assignable' to suggest that goals can be delegated. Personally, I find SMART cleaner.

Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.
How many goals should I have? One of my goals is concentration how can I be more specific with it? Why did concentration be a long-term goal or a short term goal?
There is technically no limit to the number of goals. A good rule is to use past performance. If in the past you have successfully managed five goals then maybe add another goal or two. But if you are failing to manage five goals, consider reducing it to four or three. Using past performance you can learn to adjust, adding or subtracting goals as appropriate. A specific goal to concentrate would be related to time. People that practice meditation, mindfulness, or maintaining focus will work on extending the amount of time, e.g. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, etc. The goal to improve concentration is neither long or short term. It is just a goal. Any goal is only long or short in relation to other goals you might have.
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "why set goals" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Farnicaas Switcher Capitalisation - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
This is just superb, I've been looking for "how to set goals" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Farnicaas Switcher Capitalisation - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.
Need to be careful about implementing goals for other people that don't achieve the desired outcome. Lose 10 lbs in 10 weeks can be done multiple ways, either being healthy and exercising or by starving yourself. People often will find ways of hitting goals, but sometimes hitting the measurement becomes the obsession and the overall point is missed. You'd rather have someone lose 6 lbs by eating healthy vs 20 lbs by smoking and not eating. On paper one looks better, but how you got there is much worse.
That first example doesn't really work though because yes while losing 10 pounds is an easier goal to conceptualize, it doesn't mean the same thing as being healthier. You can't really put them as different versions of the same thing because they just simply aren't
They are not different versions of the same thing. There are many ways a person might pursue the abstract concept “being healthy”. A very common way, is to maintain a healthy weight. What this means will vary for the individual. Obesity is a medical condition, i.e. a health condition. For an obese person, losing a specific amount of weight reduces certain health risks. The example, is only addressing how an individual might take the abstract and make it more specific. I agree, that losing a specific amount of weight doesn’t always mean the same thing as being healthier, but for many people it does translate. It is up to each individual to make that decision.
@@jeffjests2764 A good read…”Goal-setting theory (Locke & Latham, 1990, 2002) was developed…over a 25-year period, based on some 400 laboratory and field studies.

@@DecisionSkills "So long as a person is committed to the goal, has the requisite ability to attain it, and does not have conflicting goals, there is a positive, linear relationship between goal difficulty and task performance." You can't just assume that everyone is 100% committed to their goal. Most people aren't unless they really have to. People procrastinate and give up. Is the paper factoring in that? Not to mention conflicting goals with pleasure and unwillingness to do hard work. Yes, you can revise your goal, but that only happens when you are very committed. We don't know if specific goals actually cause people to put in less committment or if they lose interest with specific goals. Like the paper states, much more research will have to be put in this.
@@jeffjests2764 there is no assumption of 100% commitment. Research shows that specific, rather than vague or abstract goals leads to higher levels of commitment. There are multiple factors that help moderate goals. Much of this is discussed in the 2013 edition, “New Develops in Goal Setting and Task Development.”
While I love this video and it is extremely helpful, I really wish the main example wasn't about weight loss. It's awkward to share this video to others because of that.
I would approach an open ended goal by creating time bound subgoals. For instance, I will always want to improve my Spanish. It’s a goal without a definite end. But, I still use time bound when setting goals that target Spanish, e.g. setting a deadline to read a book or translate an article.
Keep in mind there is not a single version of SMART. In the original, 1980’s version of SMART, the “a” was for assignable. There are versions with “a” as achievable and versions with “r” for realistic. There are also versions that are SMARTER. In the version presented here the “a” is presented as actionable for a very good reason. Many goals we may wish to pursue do not need to be achievable. We can take actions, we can develop an action plan that takes us towards a goal, but this does not signify a goal is known to be achievable. For example, running under a 4-minute mile was considered unachievable, yet it was actionable. It was unknown if sailing around the world in a wooden ship was achievable, but it was actionable. Today we don’t know if colonizing another planet is actually achievable or realistic. However, we can take actions towards discovering if it is achievable. We don’t know if time travel is achievable, but to this day some people take actions to discover this possibility. If you wish to use “a” for achievable, great. Or you might consider SMAART, where you include in your personal goals not only actions but whether or not you believe the goal is achievable. There is no established rule that SMART is limited to only a single version. Use whatever model works best for you.

An interesting fact you can share with others in your class is that in one of the earliest SMART models the ‘a’ stood for assignable. It was to help managers ensure that goals could be delegated. There are many different versions of the SMART model. As models, they do not all need to be exactly the same. Choose a version that works best for you. There are also models that use the acronym SMARTER. I prefer not to use “achievable” as there are so many goals that we can strive towards without knowing whether or not success is possible. In my experience, using achievable limits exploration, innovation, and creativity. Beliefs are powerful, and if you believe before you even try that a goal might not be achievable then chances are you will never find out. Consider how many goals were once considered unachievable? People thought it impossible for anyone to run under a 4-minute mile, for example. People thought landing on the moon was impossible. Currently we don’t know about the goal to colonize Mars. It is unknown if it is achievable, but it is actionable. We can take steps towards discovery, solving the issues and making progress towards the goal. This provides feedback and allows us to adjust the goal as we move forward. In this sense I think that actionable is more helpful than achievable.
When it comes to R (relevant) you should also consider 1.) Warren Buffets 5/25 -> focus on the 5 most important goals and ignore the other 20 goals 2.) sharpen the saw-> meaning you first tackle a goal to make another goal easier Great examples for this are a.) the right learning techniques and methods or a foundation of healthy habits to make it trough university. (Small scale) b.) knowledge, money and connections as well as a clear vision of your business before actually starting it. (Big scale) b.) is kinda similiar to Carl Newport’s Craftmans Mindset (Book: So good they can’t ignore you) which basically says that you need rare and valuable qualifications to get a great workplace.

Hi 👋
hi guys
My teacher gave us this video and two others, both of the other 2 said A stood for attainable, this say it stands for Actionable. I am now confused.
An interesting fact you can share with others in your class is that in one of the earliest SMART models the ‘a’ stood for assignable. It was to help managers ensure that goals could be delegated.
There are many different versions of the SMART model. As models, they do not all need to be exactly the same. Choose a version that works best for you. There are also models that use the acronym SMARTER.
I prefer not to use “achievable” as there are so many goals that we can strive towards without knowing whether or not success is possible. In my experience, using achievable limits exploration, innovation, and creativity. Beliefs are powerful, and if you believe before you even try that a goal might not be achievable then chances are you will never find out.
Consider how many goals were once considered unachievable? People thought it impossible for anyone to run under a 4-minute mile, for example. People thought landing on the moon was impossible.
Currently we don’t know about the goal to colonize Mars. It is unknown if it is achievable, but it is actionable. We can take steps towards discovery, solving the issues and making progress towards the goal. This provides feedback and allows us to adjust the goal as we move forward. In this sense I think that actionable is more helpful than achievable.

When it comes to R (relevant) you should also consider
1.) Warren Buffets 5/25 -> focus on the 5 most important goals and ignore the other 20 goals
2.) sharpen the saw-> meaning you first tackle a goal to make another goal easier
Great examples for this are
a.) the right learning techniques and methods or a foundation of healthy habits to make it trough university. (Small scale)
b.) knowledge, money and connections as well as a clear vision of your business before actually starting it. (Big scale)
b.) is kinda similiar to Carl Newport’s Craftmans Mindset (Book: So good they can’t ignore you) which basically says that you need rare and valuable qualifications to get a great workplace.
