SPECIFIC - make sure you know exactly what you want.
MANAGEABLE - they shouldn't be unrealistic or hard to achieve. A goal provides challenge, not difficulty.
ATTAINABLE - it can be met within a specific time frame. Some may take a lifetime, others may just take a matter of days.
REALISTIC - if others could do it, then your goal is worthwhile. Always ask advice from others.
TRACKABLE - you must have a way to determine if you've succeeded in attaining your goals.
