Continuing on my site/personal vision and goal setting exercise (picking up from my last post on the topic), I updated my vision document with my first goal. Goals should be SMART:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Realistic
- Timely
So, with that in mind, I added my first goal:
Build base of content – at least 1, ideally 2, new topic(s) per week
My vision document is still a work in progress, but this is definitely a goal that fits within the vision and principles and is SMART.
I still have more things to consider. The biggest elephant in the room is the portfolio that I’ve managed to avoid for, well, for the past 35 years. Likewise, I want to add more CV material, etc. to tell more about me, but I need to keep the Achievable and Realistic elements of the SMART mnemonic in mind, while not ignoring the Timely one.
It might only be one step at a time, but it’s one more step.
