If the target cannot be broken down into actionable action, the action does not produce performance, it can be considered that the goal is invalid, the goal must be formulated according to the smart principle, that is, the specific (specific), measurable (measurable), achievable (attainable), With the other objectives have a certain relevance (relevant), with a clear deadline (Time-bound), not specific, can not be broken down to execute, non-measurement can not be monitored, can not achieve the goal is divorced from the actual, there is no correlation, the goal even if the realization of not necessarily can produce value, Suppose you're a worker and you spend your time and energy reading an MBA, but in fact your job doesn't have to be used, and deadlines don't give a sense of urgency and time is not manageable.
Human nature is always ambitious, anxious, many to set themselves too high goals, to establish their own difficult to complete the task, to show their own "different", such as learning English, is always difficult to learn, but ignored the most commonly used, the most useful basic vocabulary and grammar, so, the task must be easy (simple), And can continue to carry out, continue to produce performance, and ultimately achieve the goal, rather than give yourself a high above, but can not be completed, the implementation process is also a painful goal to deceive themselves. If the process is difficult, without any fun, and you can't see the progress or results, then 99.99% of people will choose to give up. So, a good start is half the success, what is a good start? First, set a goal that meets the smart principle, and secondly, break it down into a simple executable task, and enter the virtuous circle as soon as possible, just like a car, starting to start, slowly accelerating, and finally reaching the destination.
