SMART goal setting is a way to give you an advantage in achieving your goal. It helps you set the right goal with the right time frame for success.
Mindfulness Brainstorming
Start with the meditation session, focusing on staying present and calm. Think about a goal you want to achieve in this class.
After meditation, write down your goal on a blank sheet of paper. Focus on a goal you’d like to achieve in this class.
SMART Goal Exploration
Use the worksheet provided to understand each aspect of a SMART goal. Brainstorm answers to the questions on the same sheet as your goal.
Check for your understanding of SMART goals by playing the kahoot!
Evaluation
Based on your brainstorming, create a SMART goal for this course.
Share your goal with two others and explain the concept if needed. Ask them to check if your goal meets all the SMART criteria. If not, identify any missing components (e.g., S for specific, T for timely).
Keep talking with others until you receive two checkmarks on your SMART goal.
Once approved, create a visual representation of your goal that is creative and clear.
Hang it where you’ll see it often and share it on the path.
For further exploration of SMART goals, we recommend completing the Smart Goal Intro Spark activity.
