To set a specific goal you must answer the six “W” *Who: Who is involved? *What: What do I want to accomplish? *Where: Identify a location. *When: Establish a time frame. *Which: Identify requirements and constraints. *Why: Specific reasons for accomplishing the goal. EXAMPLE: General goal “Get in shape.” Specific goal “Join a health club and workout 3 days a week.”

15. T Timely – A goal should have a START and END date With no time frame, chances are you will not achieve your goal. Example: I want to get my G1 by my 17 birthday. T can also stand for Tangible – A goal that you can experience with one of the senses (taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing)
