✓ SMART Goals- Timely & Trackable

New Year’s Resolutions are well and good, but if you don’t set a time period within which you’d like to accomplish them, did they even exist? Try these tips to finish what you set out to do in 2023!:

• Setting a time limit or date by when you want to achieve the goal will hold you accountable.
• By what date will you finish the goal?
• What can I today? What about next week? Next month?

Pick a time amount and a date, as well as a way to track your improvement over time. Perhaps write your efforts down in a journal or track them on an app so you can see how far you’ve come and feel proud of what you’ve accomplished. Tracking your progress means you can see it, feel it, and want to keep going to the finish!

Example: Instead of “I want to run more”, break it down into specific, measurable, achievable time periods.
Try: I will run three days a week (specific), for 30 minutes (measurable & attainable) so that I am able to run the St. Pat’s 5k (relevant) on March 18th, 2023 (timely). All that’s left is to log the days and bask in your running achievement glory!
