SMART planning...

SMART stands for:

  S - Specific - the target must say exactly what needs to be learned or done.

  M - Measurable- It must say exactly how this can be measured.

  A - Achievable - The target must not be too hard or too large, better to have several small targets leading to a larger goal.

  R - Realistic - It must be possible to get access to any training, books or help needed to meet the target.

  T - Timed - There should be a set time limit for achieving the target.
