What is a SMART Target?

Each letter in SMART stands for a quality that will make your targets more effective:

• S – Specific
  Define your goals clearly, with a focus on specific areas.
  Example: “I want to improve my written work in English.”

• M – Measurable
  Set criteria to measure your progress.
  Example: “I will create three sets of revision cards to prepare.”

• A – Achievable
  Choose goals that are challenging yet within reach.

• R – Realistic
  Ensure your goals are possible within your resources and time.

• T – Timely
  Set a deadline to stay focused.
  Example: “I’ll complete my revision cards by the end of the month.”

By using SMART targets, you can make meaningful progress, stay motivated, and celebrate your achievements along the way!
