Creating A SMART goal will insure you will achieve said goal. It puts your goals into perspective on achievability and the time frame needed to accomplish it. It also simplifies your goals, having a specific goal rather than a vague one makes it simpler to achieve.
I think I need to work on the specify step of SMART goal making. My goals tend to be vague and having a more specific goal would help me better understand where to start to reach that goal. Getting a better understanding of why I want to accomplish that specific goal is also helpful for me to know if it is a goal I want and can achieve.
I feel a current stressor I have is the amount of responsibilities I currently have and trying to keep up with them. This gets in the way of me being able to achieve some goals because I already have a lot going on and it can feel overwhelming adding extra goals such as achieving my degree. I think a strategy I can use to better cope is setting a better schedule and making sure I stick with it. This will organize my time better so I don't have so much going on in a day and I can make time to work on achieving my goal.
