Using The SMART Mnemonic To Help Set Goals
A mnemonic is a powerful mind or memory tool to assist in remembering information. Mnemonics are usually verbal like a short poem or even a special word. They are commonly used to help a person to remember something. They could also be that of a visual or auditory aid.
They rely on links between easy to remember constructs which can be related back to the initial data that is to be remembered. This technique is built on the fact that the human brain can recall data which is personal, sexual, spatial, surprising or humorous.
By using a mnemonic in relation to your goals, you can easily remember the important points to think about upon the initial goal creation; resulting in a more dynamic and inspiring goal!
SMART Goals:
SMART usually stands for:
- S Specific
- M Measurable
- A Attainable
- R Relevant
- T Time-bound
An example of how to use this system: Instead of having “to sail around the world” as a goal, it is more powerful to say “To have completed my trip to sail around the world by January 1, 2020.” Obviously, this will only be attainable if a lot of foundation work has been completed beforehand!
