Wondr: Smart Goals

The secret to reaching your goals? Make them SMART, write them down, make a plan, and share them for support.

  • S
    Specific: Make your goal precise. For example, “I will use the 10-5-10 timer at dinner every day this week”.
  • M
    Measurable: Make sure you can quantify it. “Three times this week,” “every day,” and “at 5pm nightly” are all good examples.
  • A
    Attainable: Make it achievable. For example, starting with one meal a day may be more realistic than aiming to practice something new at every meal for a week.
  • R
    Relevant: Make sure it’s related to something matters to you. For instance, you may be doing this so you can be healthier and feel your best.
  • T
    Timely: Give it a time frame. In our example, “this week” gives you a clear timeline.

Once you write it down, make a plan!

What will it take to meet your SMART goal? Additional Tools, planning, or support? For example, you may want to use your app’s 10-5-10 timer at mealtime or let friends and family know in advance you’ll be practicing this skill and would welcome their support.
