Start by thinking about the results you want to accomplish and use S.M.A.R.T goals to get there. SMART stands for "specific", "measurable", "actionable", "relevant", and "time-based". You can use our goal setting form template to specify them, save them, and check them at a later stage in your career. It's best if you start with actionable items that you can easily achieve in the short-term, and afterward focus on the next, achieving incremental success throughout the process.
