Planning and Conceptualizing Social Advocacy for Developing an ICT Project Flashcards
SMART
- specific
- measurable
- attainable
- realistic
- time-bound
specific
(What do you want to do or want to
achieve?) Set a real goal that is direct,
detailed and meaningful. Make sure that
your goals are focused and can identify
a concrete outcome. Your goal will be at
risk or vague without the specifics of the
goal, because knowing what you wanted
to achieve is knowing the leverage to
success.
measurable
(When will you know when you reach it?
What are the signs of your success?) –
Make sure that your goal is trackable
and quantifiable. Defining your own
definition of “success” will aid you to
estimate your current achievement
level on reaching your specific goals.
- tangible and intangible success - statistics, participation, event
attainable
(Is it possible for you to reach your
goal?) Work towards a goal that is
challenging but possible and
doable. Check if you have the tools
or resources that will help you to
achieve and attain your goals.
realistic
(Are your current skills enough to
reach your goal?) Knowing yourself is
the key to your success. Be honest
with yourself and know your capabilities and the things that you cannot do. Be realistic toward your goals as well as on your capacity to do.
time-bound
(When exactly do you plan to accomplish it?) Give yourself a deadline. Every goal should have a target date to finish. Having deadlines motivates oneself to do more
efficiently and helps you to be focused in reaching your goals.
