Now, there&#8217;s certainly a school of thought out there that says that you can accomplish whatever you want, whenever you want it. But, when you&#8217;re setting goals, especially when they&#8217;re short-term goals (i.e. within 1 year), make sure that they&#8217;re achievable.<br \/>This doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t shoot for the stars in your long-term plans, such as 5 years down the road or even 10 years down the road.<br \/>It just means that you have to pick goals that you can achieve in the short term.<br \/>Achievable Example ,<br \/>if you&#8217;ve never made more than $100,000 in a year, don&#8217;t say that you&#8217;re going to be a billionaire in the span of one year.<br \/>Set goals that you can actually achieve so that you build on your momentum.<br \/>Your short-term goals should be something within your reach, but not so easily attainable that they won&#8217;t take much work or effort on your part.<br \/>This will also help you to build that all-important momentum.<br \/>Once you achieve your year-long goals, you can broaden those into much greater hopes and dreams down the road<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2053\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2053\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\">  Step 4: \"R\"  Relevant <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2053\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7578b65 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7578b65\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2053\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ad4ad7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8ad4ad7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3ce045 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d3ce045\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18266\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1.jpg 817w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1-600x447.jpg 600w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Relevant-1-67x50.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2053\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-218a62f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"218a62f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d16f4d exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d16f4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"color: #000080;\">The fourth step in setting S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals is to set goals that are relevant to your life.

You have to set an exact date on when you plan to achieve these goals. Focus on goals that are in 3-month intervals. If you plan to achieve a 50-pound weight loss in one year, then break that down into 3-month intervals. That&#8217;s 12.5 pounds every three months.<br \/>When your goals are time-bound, they&#8217;re measurable, and you should hold yourself accountable by measuring those goals on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.<br \/>How close are you to achieving your goals? How much further did you get from achieving your goals? Without making your goals time-bound and measurable, you won&#8217;t be able to see your progress.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2055\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"6\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2055\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Step 6: \"E\" Evaluate <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2055\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-511af7f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"511af7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2055\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26f58d0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"26f58d0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b11f338 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b11f338\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18263\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1.jpg 837w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1-410x290.jpg 410w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Evaluate-1-71x50.jpg 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c53870a exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c53870a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"color: #000080;\">The sixth step in setting goals using the S.M.AR.T.E.R. Method is to ensure that your goals are evaluated. By evaluating your goals every single day, you&#8217;ll be much more likely to achieve them. Why is that? Well, long-term goals (and also goals that are 3 months or 6 months out), can easily be ignored if they aren&#8217;t evaluated every single day.<br \/>Make sure that you set up a system for evaluating your goals and you make the evaluation of your goals habitual.<br \/>Don&#8217;t ignore this all-important step. Your mind has a very clever way of allowing you to ignore your goals by pushing you into emotion-numbing behaviors when those goals aren&#8217;t closely evaluated.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2056\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"7\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2056\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\">  Step 7: \"R\"  Readjust <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2056\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12f042c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"12f042c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2056\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-349b0dc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"349b0dc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57539ee exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"57539ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18265\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1.jpg 837w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1-410x290.jpg 410w, https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Readjust-1-71x50.jpg 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02f4b2c exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02f4b2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"color: #000080;\">The final step in setting goals with the S.M.A.R.T.E.R. method is to Re-adjust your approach. If, for example, you find yourself pursuing a goal but continuously hitting a brick wall, readjust your method and techniques. For example, when a plane has a goal of flying from LAX to MIA, it has to constantly evaluate its progress and readjust its approach to ensure that it reaches its target.<br \/>The plane constantly evaluates and readjusts until it arrives in MIA.<br \/>You should be doing the same for your goals.<br \/>Readjust doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to throw your goals out and start all over.<br \/>What it means is that you have to try different approaches until you find yourself getting closer and closer to your goals.<br \/>That&#8217;s why constant evaluation on a daily basis is so important. If you don&#8217;t evaluate you can&#8217;t measure your progress.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-30127","lesson","type-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lesson 2: The 7 Steps to Setting S.M.A.R.T.E.R.
