Setting goal is easy but achieving them isn't, it is important to have a target but what is more essential is having a SMART target to succeed in life. Therefore a target should be SMART which stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, realistic and timely for a higher success rate for our set plans and goals.

Today’s lesson reflected upon the importance of SMART targets. Of course by now I understood what a smart target is but before this lesson I had no clue at all to be very honest. I had specific targets set in life but never have I implemented a SMART target because I never knew about this. We had a task in lesson today about planning targets in our career and personal goals. In pair of two we had to interview each other and I interviewed Nivedita. I found out a lot of interesting plans about Nivedita’s future but most of her current plan is to achieve academic success which was quite similar to mine. This task helped me a lot in terms of deciding, planning and getting a clear concept of where I would like to stand in future. I used SMART while laying our my targets which made it much more clearer towards reaching my goals. In future I will always make use of SMART targets in my educational and professionals life.
This video below has given a clear and concise explanation of what a SMART target is and why should we use them.
