What's wrong with this SMART goal: "I will do 25 push-ups."
It's not SPECIFIC - WHAT will the person do?
It's not MEASURABLE - HOW MANY?
It's not TIME-BASED - WHEN will this happen??
It's not ATTAINABLE - nobody can do 25 push-ups!
Fix this SMART goal: "I will do 25 push-ups."
There's nothing wrong with it.
"I will do 25 push-ups 25 times."
"Every day for the next two weeks, I will do 25 push-ups a day."
"For the next hour, I will do 4,000 push-ups."
What was wrong with: "For the next hour, I will do 4,000 push-ups."
It's not Measurable - we don't know how many push-ups to do
It's not Specific - we don't know what the person is trying to achieve
It's not Attainable - no one can do 4,000 pushups in an hour.
It's not Time-based - we don't know when it will happen
"By September 30, I will have breathed and slept every day." is a SMART goal, but
it will be very hard to achieve
it is lame, poses little challenge, and will not make you a better person
it's almost like it is too smart, like all that is required in life is breathing and sleeping
