  3. Achievable: Goals should be realistic and attainable, considering your current resources and constraints.

  4. Relevant: Goals should align with your overall objectives and be relevant to your values and aspirations.

  5. Time-bound: Goals should have a defined timeframe or deadline by which they need to be accomplished.

SMART criteria are a valuable tool for setting goals that are clear, achievable, and conducive to successful outcomes.
