How to Set Your SMARTEST Goals Almost everybody knows the meaning of the word smart. There are career coaches who teach you how to become smart. We may go with the very common and direct meaning of being smart. People may look smart or polished with a decent dress and balanced makeup. Looking smart is very much possible. It requires polishing the appearance, such as hair, makeup, and dress. You must have also read or heard of SMART goals. If you have experience working in IT firms or in the corporate world, you have an idea about SMART goals. SMART is an abbreviation that stands for ***Specific***, ***Measurable***, ***Attainable***, ***Relevant***, and ***Time-bound*** (SMART). What is the SMARTEST goal? Let us have an example of a SMART goal. Suppose, if you say “*I want to accumulate BCH*” then it is just a wish unless you specify a few more parameters to specify how the wish will be achieved. Now, suppose you try to say about your wish, more specifically and quantifiable, such as "***I want to accumulate 2 BCH in 9 months***," it can be considered a SMART goal. Please note that you are now **specific** about your earning/accumulation goal. You wish to earn/accumulate **2 BCH in 9 months**. So, it is **measurable, attainable,** **relevant**, and **time-bound**. Whether it is attainable or not, depends on many other unknown factors. But, it is **relevant** to you, because you wish to achieve it, not that others say what you want. And, what does EST stand for? **EST** in the acronym **SMARTEST** stands for **Education**, **Significance**, and **Towards**. Let us elaborate a little bit more on **EST**. **E** - What does **Education** mean in this context? It depends on how you wish to educate yourself for blogging. **S** - What is the **Significance** of your projected goal? Perhaps you want to increase your knowledge and self-confidence. **T** - Where are you moving **Towards**? Perhaps, you wish to move towards a successful career in blogging.

The acronym **SMARTEST** stands for ***Specific***, ***Measurable***, ***Attainable***, ***Relevant***, ***Time-bound****,* ***Education****,* ***Significance****, and* ***Towards*** (SMARTEST). Do you wish to have a SMARTEST goal? Next time you write about your "BCH earning goals" or any other goals here, you may consider these parameters to disclose your SMARTEST goals. Whether you (I, and others) are smart or not, we can always set a SMARTEST goal. I shall write about one of my SMARTEST goals in a future article. What are your SMARTEST goals? Please don't try to mix up smart with the proposed SMARTEST goals. `Information about a sponsor of this article:-`

I found this quite insightful. I hope to apply it to effectively so I can achieve something I have been procrastinating about doing.
I am glad you found it useful. I also find it very effective (if we stick to the set parameters).
Yeah its better to have a smartest goal to be on focus and to point out a thing you want to achieve on that months or years.setting goals is the best way to accumulate all the things you want to grab
Did you read that SMARTEST is an acronym or just wrote a comment?
Not only in earning but also in learning or doing i oftenly choose a smart goal and in my mind definition of smart is. S specific M measure able A attainable or achievable R realistic T time management One of my teacher told me about this but today you add some new knowledge into my mind. Thank you
I am glad you have read and noticed the new knowledge in the acronym SMARTEST.
Unity's acronym is like @Talecharm blog too, she loves to write things like this. Plus we find it mind "shaking" or opening for it feed us new ideas Lesly90.
Ahhh!!! Yes how could i forgot talecharm, her word's are so strong and powerful too
I like engagement in comments.
Really??? Thank you 🥰
Engagement in comments is proof of the seriousness of the community.
Hahaha yes actually i don't want to repeat my mistake again. That's why i try to engage community too this time
Life without a goal is meaningless, but sometimes it happens that we set a goal and are unable to achieve it. that specific mark we want to acquire.
I have mentioned SMARTEST as an acronym. Have you read and noticed it?
Setting up goals and aims for ourselves is hardest thing to do. Especially for me, i am feeling helpless these days, my life is miserable, just because i am walking along time aimlessly. I don't have future as well as future goals, people are pickiest who select their goals and work hard to achieve them. Hope God make me able to set smartest goals for me.
Hi @SaraEllen, Have you read and noticed that SMARTEST is an acronym, NOT the superlative degree of smart? Anyway, thanks for your comment.
Yes, i have read it under conclusion heading. ❤️
I set so many goals but I failed also how many times by being inconsistent and having no discipline in everything that I do. This time, I need to set the smartest goals in my life and achieve everything.
I wish you all the best in your goals. Thank you:)
Thanks for mapping how to set smart goals. Like you I also have goal for accumulating 3 BCH in one year.
No, I don't have any earning goals for BCH. It is an example of how others (you) write. BTW, the central idea says about the acronym SMARTEST goals.
Very educational, thanks, sir Unity. It will be my guide to attain my career goals.
I am glad that you found it useful.
What a smart acronym brother Unity, yes we have written our goals, some are attained and some are not but that is fine for we try many ways on how we can thrive if not in one process then on the next move to groove in the momentum of unstoppable success. You are smart and a success on your pace.
Success is not the aim or objective. The purpose is to think rationally and aim for a realistic goal. SMARTEST goals make it easier to be practical.
A good thinker and rational. Qouting @Eybyoung in one of her newest blog too, a different situation but somewhat related to some of your line. Relevant goals. "But, it is relevant to you, because you wish to achieve it, not that others say what you want."
Yes, I have read her article.
I love the thought about SMARTEST.. that's really motivating!
I am glad you liked it.
