Setting goals for yourself is always a helpful thing to do. It can help keep you on track and motivate you not to procrastinate. The best way to set goals is to use the SMART Goal method. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-specific.
When making a goal be specific, the more specific you are, the easier it will be to work on obtaining your goal. For example, instead of setting a goal of saving money to buy a new car, a specific goal would be to save up $5,000 in five years to buy a used Honda. The more specific you can be with your goal the better. Having a measurable goal will also make it easier to obtain. Using my previous example, saving $5,000 in five years makes this goal measurable.
