--- Summary ---


Hello everyone, Keely here. Today, I want to share how I approach goal setting differently than using S.M.A.R.T. goals and offer five key considerations when setting goals.


How I set goals:


  1. Get Clear on Your Priorities:

  • Identifying your priorities is crucial to avoid being swayed by others' agendas and to allocate time effectively. Start by assessing your priorities using tools like the Work/Life Areas Assessment.

  1. Envision Your Dream Future:

  • Visualize your ideal future, considering personal and professional aspects. This exercise can provide clarity and motivation, helping you align your goals with your values and aspirations.

  1. Assess Your Current State:

  • Evaluate your current goals and activities in relation to your future vision. Identify any misalignments and areas for improvement to bridge the gap between your current and desired states.

  1. Define Actionable Steps to Close the Gap:

  • Once you know what the gaps are between your current state and that future identity, determine what are the major steps to closing that gap. Perhaps you need a specific skill or training, or a change in working hours, or another change to become that future self.

  1. Break into Smaller Action:

  • Break down your goals into actionable steps, considering skills development, job transitions, or other necessary changes. Each step, no matter how small, moves you closer to your vision. Start with a tangible action that aligns with your goals, whether it's research, networking, or skill-building. Progress is made through consistent effort, no matter how small the step.


By following these steps, you can set inspiring and achievable goals that align with your aspirations. Remember, the journey towards your dream future begins with taking the first step.
