Goals should be SMART - specific, measurable, agreed upon, realistic and time-based. A goal might be to hold a weekly/monthly/yearly activity or a continuous programme throughout the family life cycle.
The acronym SMART has a number of slightly different variations, which can be used to provide a more comprehensive definition for goal setting:
S - specific, significant, stretching M - measurable, meaningful, motivational A - agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented T - time-based, timely, tangible, trackable
This provides a broader definition that will help you to be successful in both your business and personal life.
SMART goalsare those which have the following clarity.
Specific : Well defined and clear to anyone that has a basic knowledge of the family activity. Measurable: Know if the goal is obtainable and how far away completion it and know when it has been achieved Agreed Upon : Agreement with all the family members what the goals should be and how it will be attained Realistic : Within the availability of resources, knowledge and time Time Bound :Enough time to achieve the goal and not too much time, which can affect performance of the family members or the attainment of other goals.
