Get SMART, Start 2021 right!

Being organised is key to getting things done, if you struggle to keep on track try a SMART action plan.

I use these when I need to break down large tasks or when I need a little extra motivation. 

SMART Action Plans are a great way to set yourself clear goals with clear deadline. You can use them to breakdown tasks and make them less overwhelming. While setting yourself a deadline gives you something to aim for.

Specific Target a specific area for improvement
Measurable How will you see the progress?
Achievable / Attainable Can it be done in the time frame? With the resources that you have?
Relevant / Realistic How does it relate to your end goals?
Time-based When will you achieve this by? Set yourself a deadline

*Remember that these are your plans and can developed and changed in accordance to any changes to your priorities and commitments*
