1. Specific- What do you want to get done? How will you get it done? Who will be involved? Where will it happen? What do you need to accomplish it?

2. Measurable- Will I know when it is accomplished?

3. Achievable- Is it realistic? How can I get this done?

4. Relevant- Is this the right time to start? Is it worth it? Does this match my current level of experience? If not, what can I do to reach that level?

5. Timely- When will I finish? What can I do today? What can I have done in the next six weeks? 6 months?

Visualizing time again. Grab your notebook and pen and let's get started.
