Time Bound Goals
Last step of S.M.A.R.T. goal setting is to ensure you have bound your goal by some time of time measurement. To set a goal with out a deadline is like flying a kite with no string. It will go somewhere your goal but not anywhere you can follow it. : )
So thus far we have directed our thoughts on G.A.S. (Goal Achievement Spirit and S.M.A.R.T which stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and now we cover Time Bound. This whole month we are coving goals and goal setting and thus far we have focused on the spirit which is you and your being and some of the mechanics behind the scenes for goal setting.
Time Bound simply means having a specific deadline for your goals. Not to say you can skip any of the prior SMART rules/ideas because if you do your dooming your mission which is to accomplish something in line with your values and beliefs and to make your world better.
Set your goal and then break down this goal into a more manageable size tasks and then allow a time bound measurement for each of these tasks and also a longer term but evident time bound date. This will give you a clear and defined time that your motivated to meet.
Time is a measurement we all must live by. Whether the time is a minute, an hour, a day, a week or a month goals should be defined and bound by some sort of time table.
The end in mind and a clear picture of your goal in a completed state will help you in setting your time in which you believe you can complete your overall goal and smaller tasks.
Goals must have a SMART process in order to develop a stronger passion and design to complete them.
Not only are you more able you begin to get momentum in completing more of your dreams and goals and becoming a better you and a better you for others.
We all need that in this world. Would you not all agree?
Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.
