SMART Goals Worksheet
Instructions: Identify a personal goal, an academic goal, and a professional goal.
1. On the Goal line, write each of your three goals. Your goals should reflect your purpose for advancing your education at GCU, your purpose in life, and however you define your "purpose."
2. Next, verify that each of your goals is a SMART goal. The goal characteristics, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely, are listed in the left column. Identify how each SMART characteristic is included in your goals. Complete all the columns in the worksheet.
3. Identify two main discoveries you made about how you spend your time – based on the 3-day sample from the Topic 2 Time-Monitoring Worksheet. Recopy them on this worksheet. Also, note what you spent more and/or less time doing than you thought you would. Write these also. Here is an example:
