Hello office pros! Today is the last in the series of my Top 3 Tools for EAs: SMART goals. Goal-setting is important but if the goals are not specific, relevant or achievable, you won’t be motivated or possible able to continue. If there is no deadline, it will never get done. Life is hard enough.
SMART, which stands for:
- Specific
- Measureable
- Achievable
- Relevant
- Time-specific
This is a great for goal-setting. It helps you to consider all the variables, work backwards to set milestone dates, determine your data points and decide if a particular goal is going to serve your career or needs.
The SMART format is also great to use when you’re considering a job or career path change. Taking the time to put each of your work projects and achievements in this format will help you develop compelling and cohesive stories for the interview.
I hope you found this series and the tools helpful. Let me know how you’re using the SWOT, Priority Matrix and SMART tools.
