A goal or objective consists of a projected state of affairs which a person or a system plans or intends to achieve or bring about — a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.
Goal-setting ideally involves establishing specific, measurable and time-targeted objectives. Work on the theory of goal-setting suggests that it can serve as an effective tool for making progress by ensuring that participants have a clear awareness of what they must do to achieve of help achieve an objective. On a personal level, the process of setting goals allows people to specify and then work towards their own objectives — most commonly financial or career-based goals. Goal-setting comprises a major component of personal-development literature.
Goal-setters may make goals/objectives more explicit by following the guidelines associated with the SMART acronym:
Specific: one should precisely define objectives or goals rather than tolerating diffuseness or nebulousness
Measurable: one should define a method of measuring the objectives/goals
Agreed-To/Achievable: all parties need to agree to the objectives/goals, and to their achievability
Realistic/Rewarding/Relevant: one must define realistic objectives/goals, the accomplishment of which must make sense
Time-bound: completion must occur within an agreed time-scale
Individuals can have personal goals. A student may set a goal of a high mark in an exam. An athlete might walk five miles a day. A traveler might try to reach a destination-city within three hours. Managing goals can give returns in all areas of personal life. Knowing precisely what one wants to achieve makes clear what to concentrate and improve on.
Goal setting and planning ("goal work") promotes long-term vision and short-term motivation. It focuses acquisition of knowledge and helps to organize resources.
Efficient goal work includes recognizing and resolving any guilt, inner conflict or limiting belief that might cause one to sabotage one's efforts. By setting clearly-defined goals, one can subsequently measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. One can see progress in what might have seemed a long grind.
Cultural attitudes to the desirability and efficacy of personal goals may differ. For example, the idea of personal goals may clash with the trend of eliminating/transcending the personal self in some forms of Buddhist thought.
Achieving complex and difficult goals requires focus, long-term diligence and effort. Success in any field will require foregoing blaming, excuses and justifications for poor performance or lack of adequate planning; in short, success requires emotional maturity. The measure of belief that people in their ability to achieve a personal goal also affects that achievement.
