STOP Putting Deadlines on Your SMART Goals - DO THIS INSTEAD

Published 2021-12-14
It’s been said, “a goal without a deadline is just a dream.” Ehhhh, I disagree. Deadlines have some value, but they also have some drawbacks.

I do things a little differently. I don’t completely ignore the “T” in SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound). But my “T” stands for something different. And that difference allows me to take a stress-free - but still progress-filled - approach to achieving my goals.

    Your turn! Tell me what you think about the 3 things to do INSTEAD of putting deadlines on your SMART goals? Yay or nay?
  • Wow this was perfect timing for me. I have been searching for a different way of choosing goals for next year that won’t make me feel like a failure when I don’t reach them. 2020 derailed my goals and made Gun shy of setting goals. Thank you.
  • I am being benefitted by this...specially minimum goal & process goals.. I am using kaizen method too “ minimum action to do “..eg switching on the computer , tackling an area for 5 minutes Tara waiting for ur smart & smarter goals setting as u have mentioned in one video

    👊Seems less intimidating than setting deadlines, especially for people with health issues or other issues that make it difficult to know what each day will hold
