Target Setting: Strive for Success
Setting targets in any area of life can boost motivation and drive improvement. If you’re new to setting goals for schoolwork, here are some helpful tips. Remember to make your targets SMART!
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!
