    Measurable (How can you measure progress and know if you've successfully met your goal?):

    Achievable (Do you have the skills required to achieve the goal? If not, can you obtain them? What is the motivation for this goal? Is the amount of effort required on par with what the goal will achieve?):

    Relevant (Why am I setting this goal now? Is it aligned with overall objectives?):
