Specific Goal Setting
Describes what you want to accomplish with as much
detail as possible
Vague goals lessen the possibility of attaining them
E.g.

Measurable Goal Setting
Describes goals in terms that can be clearly evaluated
No measurement means that task or goal will never be attained
E.g.
I want to study my biology text.
I want to study chapter 7 and answer all the questions.
Action-Oriented Goal Setting
Identifies a goal that focuses on actions rather than
personal qualities
Goal must have an action in order to complete it
E.g.
I want a better attitude about studying.
I want to complete all assignments before classes.
RealisticGoal Setting
Identifies goals that are actually able to be attained
Goals can be challenging but not unrealistic
E.g.
Tonight I’ll read half of my book and complete the assignments.
Tonight I’ll read two chapters of my book and complete the
assignments.
Timely Goal Setting
Identifies goals that break a longer term goal into shorter
term goals and clearly specifies a completion date
e.g.
I want to graduate with honors.
I want to make the dean’s list this semester.
Procedures for Writing SMART goals
