[PD] Set your SMART goals

[zelihapala]

Coursework content

Check this website where you will find goal-setting scenarios you can practice with. Think of 3 goals you want to achieve. They can contribute to your professional or personal development, they can aim to help you get healthier or even find a job.

Once you decide what the goals are going to be about, follow the guide below:

• Take the time to write down your goals following the SMART framework and post them somewhere that you can see them.
• For team goals, place them somewhere everyone can see them. If it’s just for yourself, post a note next to your computer screen with the goals. Writing goals down brings them to life and makes them real. It’s also a good reminder of what you are working on.
• Sharing goals sets the tone for accountability. Share goals with your team, your supervisor or a mentor. A shared goal is a goal that comes with a commitment to work hard to achieve the goal. Make sure that you share goals with a supportive person who will encourage you to press on when things get hard.
• Check-in and see how you’re doing toward your goal. If the goal is a monthly goal, you may want to have daily or weekly check-ins to see what progress has been made. This helps you redirect energy and change course if something you are doing isn’t working and you aren’t making progress. It’s better to see this sooner than later while you can still adapt with enough time to succeed.
• When you succeed, celebrate. But don’t think that you need to wait until the entire goal is achieved before you give yourself a pat on the back. If you find yourself making excellent progress during a check-in, celebrate that too. The little successes help you maintain the energy to work toward the bigger goal.

Hello there, It seems you have used AI at 100%. The structure of the document is quite 'rigid', I feel adding personality and breaking your goals into paragraphs can benefit in this task. I would recommend giving it another try and incorporating your own thoughts and ideas using AI as a spell checker and basic grammar tool.
