Where do you go next?

What do you do if you're not close to achieving your goal? Looks like you need to reassess your goal.
What do you do if you've achieved your goal? Looks like you need to reassess your goal.

No matter what happens, we must reassess (look at again) our goal to make it harder, easier, or more SMART.

Reassessment

You’ll need to reassess your goal if you achieve it early, on time, or fail to achieve it. Consider what you’ve learned from setting, planning for, following, and assessing the first goal, and apply those lessons. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re probably not learning!
Questions to ask yourself:
Could I tell exactly when I achieved my goal?
Was my goal realistic/practical?
Do I need to commit more resources?
Was my deadline too early? Too late?
How can I push myself further next time?
What habits would help me next time?
What did I do well? How can I improve?
REASSESS Example 1
Initial SMART Goal: I will get all As this marking period.
Reassessed Goals: I will...
  • Get all As this year.
  • Turn in all assignments on time this week.
  • Ask 3 questions in class each day.
  • Take notes every day in every class.
  • Wake up at the same time every day.

Before You Move On...

Make sure you:
  1. Have a new SMART goal to work on
  2. Plan and prepare for your new SMART goal
The SPEAR process repeats in a loop, so keep working hard!
