Over a 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln said “a goal set properly is halfway reached.”

However, it’s harder to set a actionable goal rather than express a feeling or dream about the future.

The attached SMART Goals Worksheet can be used to help set a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound.  Utilizing this framework, students can learn to set SMART goals to help them plan for success in the future.   While this handout is geared to students, anyone can benefit from the SMART Goal system.

  • At Home – We all can use the SMART framework to make sure our goals truly are concrete and accountable.  When I’m looking at bigger projects, I print off a bunch of these templates to keep handy just to keep the “dreamer” in me grounded.
