2. SMART Goal Framework
Transform vague → specific:
| Vague | SMART |
|---|---|
| "Get more customers" | "Acquire 50 new paying customers by Q2 through content marketing, measuring weekly signups" |
| "Improve code quality" | "Reduce bug reports by 40% and increase test coverage to 80% within 3 months" |
| "Learn AI" | "Complete 3 ML projects and earn AWS ML certification by December" |
SMART Checklist:
- Specific: What exactly will be accomplished?
- Measurable: How will progress be tracked?
- Achievable: Is this realistic with current resources?
- Relevant: Does this align with larger objectives?
- Time-bound: What's the deadline?
