What does the acronym SMART stand for in the context of goal setting?

Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, Time-bound

Why is it important for a goal to be specific?

A specific goal makes it easier to determine the steps needed to achieve it, the resources required, and how to measure success.

Give an example of a measurable goal and explain how you would measure its success.

A measurable goal could be 'Read one book per month.' Success would be measured by tracking the number of books completed each month.

What does it mean for a goal to be 'actionable,' and why is this important?

Actionable means the steps required to achieve the goal are clear and achievable. This is important because it provides a clear action plan and increases the likelihood of success.

Explain how the 'relevance' of a goal can change over time, and what should you do if a goal becomes less relevant?

A goal's relevance can change due to changing priorities or circumstances. If a goal becomes less relevant, it should be re-evaluated, and potentially revised or abandoned.
