What is S.M.A.R.T.?

Specific

To reach your goal, it needs to be specific, focused, and well-defined. You are much more likely to accomplish your objective if it is clear rather than vague. For example, instead of setting a goal to get better grades this year, you should define which grades you'd like to achieve in which subjects.

S
