Introduction[edit | edit source]
It can be said that "a goal is the intended outcome of a specific set of interventions", [1] and as described in the Oxford English Dictionary, a goal is "The object to which effort or ambition is directed; the destination of a (more or less laborious) journey. An end or result towards which behavior is consciously or unconsciously directed.’ [1] This helps explain goal setting, in general, but goal setting in the context of Physiotherapy and rehabilitation is discussed in Goal Setting in Rehabilitation.
One method of goal setting is using SMART goals. SMART goals are ideal since they can help you accomplish any task or objective, big or small, and they encompass details like, specific information on the goal or objective, how, when, and if it will be accomplished, and the timeframe or duration aspects of accomplishing the goal. [2]
In fact, common reasons for setting goals are:
- Increase something
- Make something
- Improve something
- Reduce something
- Save something
- Develop Yourself
SMART Goals, the Acronym[edit | edit source]
Generally, the acronym of SMART goals may be known as: [1]
| S | Specific |
| M | Measurable |
| A | Attainable |
| R | Realistic |
| T | Time-bound |
In fact, each of the letters of SMART can have various words attached to them, but all with a similar meaning. These different words/labels could be: [1]
| S | Specific, significant, stretching, simple, stimulating, succinct, straight forward,
self owned, self managed, self controlled, strategic, sensible |
| M | Measurable, meaningful, motivational, manageable, magical, magnetic,
maintainable, mapped to goals |
| A | Agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented, attributable,
actionable, appropriate, ambitious, aspirational, accepted/acceptable, aligned, accountable, agreed, adapted, as-if-now |
| R | Realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented, resources are adequate,
resourced, recorded, reviewable, robust, relevant to a mission |
| T | Time-based, timely, tangible, trackable, tactical, traceable, toward what you want,
and many starting with ‘time-’ (e.g. -limited, -constrained, etc.) |
The SMART acronym can also be extended to SMARTER. The 'ER' can indicate: [1]
| E | Ethical, exciting, enjoyable, extending, evaluated, engaging, energizing |
| R | Recorded, reviewed, rewarded, realistic, relevant, resourced, research-based |
The meaning of each of the SMART components will be explained below. An explanation of how to write or display SMART goals will then be provided.
S[edit | edit source]
With S for 'Specific', you want to know the details of what it is you want to do. What is it that will be accomplished? What actions are you hoping/planning to take? [2]
