SMART GOALS 1
• Specific• The goal should refer to an event. It should have a quantity of
work attached• “I shall do all the Question 2’s in Maths”
• Measurable• It should be possible to see how far you have got with your goal.
“I have half of the Question 2’s done” When you reach the target, reward yourself with doing something you enjoy
• Action Orientated• A target should be an action statement:- something that you will
do• By Friday I will have a chapter in Science finished”

SMART GOALS 2
• Realistic• The goal should be doable. If not, you will feel
unmotivated and become discouraged
• Time Limited• The plan should have a time limit. Generally plans
should have a short time limit. By breaking up topics in to weeks, you will find it easier to learn material.
• Working smarter, rather than harder is the key to success.
