Download your smart goal setting worksheet here for free
I always keep my worksheets simple and effective and this smart goal setting worksheet is no different. You can download the PDF below and also glance at a picture to see if this is what you are looking for before you download.
A few points to help you get the most out of this worksheet:
- A goal that is SMART has a much greater chance of motivating us so it really pays to take the time to think and find creative ways to make your goal easy to measure.
- Attainable is a bit of an awkward concept. Attainable we want but super easy we do not want. Reasonably challenging in a way only we know is right for us is the ideal.
- The most frightening part for us is often the timed part. Setting a date can be scary for sure. I guess because without the date there is no official point of failure; we have a goal but it's just not complete yet.
However, I suggest that even when we do set a goal and don't reach it we are 100% not a failure!. The timed aspect is simply a tool that naturally creates increased inner motivation and creativity. We can set a date and time without a worry in the world and let it begin to work it magic on us.
