Writing your goals down will help you clarify what is meaningful and important for you to achieve. Clearly defined goals will motivate you to stay focused and in control while helping you manage your time better. The success of each goal will increase your self-confidence and reduce your stress.

Keep it Simple
Write your goals down and keep them SMART.

S = Specific – who, what, where, when and why
M = Measurable – to know when you have completed the goal
A = Attainable – are they realistic?
R = Relevant – are they compatible with your life?
T = Time-Bound – set a completion date

Tip
Write your goals as positive statements, make them realistic, so you can experience the incredible feeling of accomplishment, and establish a start date and an end date.
