Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound goals can help you focus your efforts and increase the chance of successfully completing them. These aspects are important to consider when creating your goals.

Work out the relative importance of everything that you want to accomplish over the next six to twelve months. Then pick no more than, say, three goals to focus on. Remember, the success of your work towards a goal rest on focusing on just a few things at a time but covering all aspects of your life.

You can keep track of and manage your progress more easily. You feel more obligated to complete them. You'll feel satisfied because you're accomplishing something each day. They help build momentum and motivation for the larger goals.

Without goals, there is no motivation. You drift, and drifting never leads to happiness or fulfilment but moving towards an exciting goal can electrify your life. That's why you must get your goal right now and get moving toward what you want next!
