Relevant Goals: Ensure your goals are relevant to your life, values, and long-term aspirations.

Time-Bound: Establish a timeline or deadline for your goals to create a sense of urgency.

Write Them Down: Putting your goals on paper makes them more tangible and commitment.

Break Them Down: Divide large goals into smaller, manageable steps or milestones.

[{"selector":"#anim-6955e750-acb2-4ea0-99aa-952b2a1a5506","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cce8c768-cbaf-4ec2-93d7-97f3a3f74ae1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.94595%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":700,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Stay Flexible: Be open to adjustments as circumstances change or new information arises.
