Newport Beach Library ◯ S.M.A.R.T. Goals


S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Literally Speaking: March-April 2020


SMART goals can apply to any goals in life. They can be long or short term.

For Example: Saving Money
Let’s say that your goal is to start saving more money. This alone isn’t a SMART goal, but it can easily be modified so that it is one.

Let's make this goal SMART!
For example: You could say that you want to save $10,000 a year for the next ten years. Now, the goal is specific and measurable because you have an amount that you are shooting for and the ability to measure the amount you end up actually saving. This goal is time-bound as well, since your goal is to save a specific amount each year over a given period.

Whether the goal is achievable depends on your own financial situation. Assuming it is, the goal fits that criteria as well.

Lastly, you have to analyze whether saving money is a relevant and important goal for you personally. If that is true, then the goal in this example fits all the criteria of being a SMART goal.  READ MORE ➤➤
