Your goals define where you are heading and what you aim to achieve. For this reason, it is important to set both short-term and long-term goals.

Use the ‘SMART’ criteria:

 Specific. Ensure your goals are clear.

 Measured. Ensure your goals specify actual numbers or outcomes.

 Attainable. Do your research and your sums to make sure your goals are achievable.

 Realistic. Ask yourself whether your expectations are realistic.

 Time frame. Set a clear time frame for how long it will it take to achieve your goals.

Once you have set your goals, it's important to write them down. Equally important is to review your goals regularly to ensure you are consistently heading on the right track.

I tend to divide my goals into short-term, medium-term and long-term goals. This keeps me accountable. Achieving the ‘momentum goals’ in the short or medium term gives me a dopamine rush that allows me to move on to the next goal with greater confidence. Your long-term goals seem so much more accomplishable when you can see smaller goals being achieved in the short and medium term.
