Specific

• A specific goal has a much greater chance of
  being accomplished than a general goal.
• EXAMPLE    A general goal would be, "Get in
  shape." But a specific goal would say, "Join a
  health club and workout 3 days a week."

4
Measurable

• To determine if your goal is measurable, ask
  questions such as, How much? How many? How will I
  know when it is accomplished?
• EXAMPLE
• a goal that cant be measured, I will be nicer
  to my siblings.
• A measurable goal, I will spend 30 minutes a
  day helping my sister with her homework.

5
Attainable

• When you list your goals you build your
  self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these
  goals, and develop the traits and personality
  that allow you to possess them.

6
Relevant

• Ask your self, will this goal make a positive
  difference in my life? Is this goal helping me
  progress?
• EXAMPLE I will read 2 history books in the next
  month.

7
Time-bound

• With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of
  urgency. If you want to stop biting your nails,
  when do you want to stop by? "Someday" won't
  work.
• EXAMPLE I will raise my grades by the end of the
  quarter.
