Set SMARTER Goals

Larry Hendrick brings us an improved goal-setting acronym, SMARTER:

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time Sensitive
Enthusiasm
Reward

The interesting thing that Larry has talked about is that achieving a goal is not necessarily the same as a reward. Now he's improved his original acronym to include Reward as a separate item. How motivating to go set some new, smarter goals!
