gaol statement: getting more sleep. Use smart goals to answer

S Specific
Your goals should be SPECIFIC. Include dates, times, distances, numbers.

To set a specific goal you must answer the six “W” questions:
*Who: Who is involved?
*What: What do I want to accomplish?
*Where: Identify a location.
*When: Establish a timeframe.
*Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
*Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.
EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, “Get in shape.” However, a specific goal would say, “Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday after school from 3-4pm I will work out to help me get in shape.”

M Measurable
They should be MEASURABLE. That means you should be able to measure your progress-with some sort of number.

When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.
To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as…
How much? How many?
How will I know when it is accomplished?

A Attainable
They should be ATTAINABLE. This means they should be appropriate for you and they should be action oriented. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.

R Realistic
Your goals should be REALISTIC and relevant to your life. Identify the resources you will need. Review and Revise your goals as needed. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. However, be sure that every goal represents substantial progress.

T Time-
Orientated
You will need a specific timeline to accomplish your goals. With no timeframe tied to it, there is no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs., when do you want to lose it by? “Someday” will not work. However, if you anchor it within a timeframe, “by May 1st”, then you have set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.
