SMART is a goal-setting framework. S stands for specific, which means the ability to define your goal with clarity. M stands for measurable. This could be in terms of calories burnt, money earnt in proportion to the time spent, etc. A stands for achievable. It is good to set goals and take steps one at a time rather than keeping goals that seem far fetched. R stands for relevant. This means knowing the purpose of setting a goal in the first place and how relevant it is to your current position. T stands for time-bound. Fix a deadline for the goal, i.e., the time you wish to accomplish it. It keeps you motivated.
