S.M.A.R.T. Goal Setting - Set Yourself Up For Success Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Bound. Making goals using the S.M.A.R.T. principle is a key to success. For example, rather than saying, “I am going to work out more,” clarify your action. Specific: I am going to walk. Measurable: I am going to walk 20 minutes, 4 days a week. Attainable: I can do this during lunch break. Realistic: I am confident I can do this on my lunch break. Time-Bound: I will start this action today and check in with my goal in 1 week. Now, when you are thinking of your WOOW goals, how will you make it SMART? Set SMART goals to improve your well-being using the Log Form.
