Explanation / Answer
Answer: 1. Use of SMART, Full Form of SMART is:
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Attainable
R - Relevant
T - Time-bound
"SMART" is a management term used to set goals. The terms of SMART are explained as,
Specific - It stresses on specifying a specific goal rather than a general one. A specific goal will usually answer the "Why", "What", "Who", "Which" and "Where" questions. Measurable - It stresses on measuring the progress towards the attainment of goal. A measurable goal usually answers the "How many?" and "How much?" questions. Attainable - It stresses on setting up the goal that is realistic and attainable. Relevant - It stresses on setting up the goal that matters to organization or individual.Time-bound - It stresses the importance of grounding goals with a deadline. A Time-bound goal can answer the "When" question.
Therefore any problem is analyzed on these parameters (SMART) and then goal is set.
So you could use a template like this: By October 31, I will be able to resolve my listening problem by this much (50 %) as measured by questionnaire // 3 on rating scale. I will track my progress by this year.
