Smart Goals Analysis

Imagine yourself waiting to be interviewed for a job. You are probably nervous and wondering what specific questions will be asked, and may have even googled some usual interview questions to help yourself prepare to answer the recruiter’s questions. The recruiter steps into the room introduces themselves and starts asking questions. He asks you “Where do you see yourself in five years?” as this is a common interview question. Do you have an answer? Or does your mind go blank as you attempt to answer a question you were not prepared for. Whatever your answers to these questions are its important to always have some idea of what your long term and short term goals are for your future. I am being well prepared to answer this question in any interview by Dr. Marlo Kibler as a student in Dynamics of Leadership at Kent State University. By doing my action learning project I have learned the importance of, and how to make SMART goals that will carry me through my entire life. So now let’s take a closer look at my goals and how I am working toward them.

As promised, I have managed to come out with something. These goals are challenging. I will wish we take just one. However, taking a second goal will not be a problem if the goal is gear toward networking.

Another SMART goal I have is to find a better balance between personal and work life by taking short breaks to reduce stress. Lately, I have been overwhelmed with the demands that come from my part-time job and school. These demands have caused me to be fatiguing and I find myself having a harder time to complete work. To ensure that this goal will be measurable, I will try my best to take short 15 minute breaks every hour. I feel that this will help me feel more relaxed and feel less overwhelmed. To attain this goal, I will require a timer and breathing exercises or even a sketchbook. I will time 15 minutes every hour and let myself do breathing exercises or colour around in my sketchbook. However, realistically, this goal can be

a) 8 – Cutting out dairy is important to me because I shouldn’t be having any dairy, I am lactose intolerant but I’ve always made excuses because I love cheese and ice-cream. The consumption of dairy has negatively affected my life by upsetting my stomach and it is possibly the reason why my skin is breaking out.

One of the S.M.A.R.T goal for my self is to finish my degree with a 3.8 or better. I have been doing this one week at a time by setting smaller goals for each week. The human mind is remarkably design for goal pursuit. (Masicampo & Baumeister, 2011) Goals short or long can utilize the S.M.A.R.T method to analyze the goal and reevaluate as need be for me to complete it by the due date. Being able to have a goal and measure it to make sure it is attainable is beneficial in all aspects of life from chores, savings for vacation, weight loss, school and work. Every hurdle I cross is a victory waiting to be celebrated.

I have five more months to graduate with my bachelor's and I have to say that I am almost finished completing one of my long-term goals.

The first SMART goal that I would like to accomplish to help improve my leadership skills if barcoding all stock rooms for each department. Barcoding each department will save time, money, faster customer service, and better accuracy of ordering. The nurses would save time as well as they are not having to input a fourteen-digit number to charge just one item each time a supply is used on a patient. They can focus more on the patient.

I am trying my best to put in practice the SMART Goal setting but I am having really hard to keep up with Measurable and timely goals for school; timely because the class is five weeks and the group discussions/ participation it’s hard when you do not have access to a laptop or computer while working. And for my professional life set goals that are achievable so I do not get disappointed.

Along with applying myself to my full potential to gain really good results and marks throughout my assessments. (physical and theory) Giving this everything I am capable of is how I will achieve this. By fully applying and committing and getting as much extra classes in I am capable of doing.

In the fall of 2017 I will be attending Lycoming College. I am currently undecided on what I will be majoring in but, I do know one thing. I want to travel. I want to see all that the world has to offer and see every corner of the globe possible. Thankfully, my college has a very nice study abroad program and they have an organization that is called Habitat for Humanity that takes many trips throughout the year. Even though that I am going into college undecided I do have some choices in mind for my career one of them being Political Science. With my political science degree I could become a political advocate for a community or cause.

My smart goal for this semester was to spend more time on studying, which would help me to get an A in most of my classes. The reason I chose this goal was to maintain my GPA because I will transfer next semester. I planned to start my program by the first day of the semester, which gives me plenty of time to achieve my goal. I set up some steps in order to get into this habit.The first step was to organize my time. I planned to list everything that I have to do and I put notes of how much time each priority will take out of my schedule. I also dedicate 30 hours per week to college studies, including the time I spend in lecture. After three months of following these steps, I feel like I organized my day in a very good way.The second step was

Personal growth is the most important factor of my development plan at my current stage in life. Due to the increased competitive nature of young up and comers I feel that I may be limited for opportunities and advancement. Creating an in-depth leadership development plan will assist me in building up on my leadership skills and abilities. Although this leadership development plan is only a guideline, the real learning process is an ongoing journey. It’s a mark of respect and fairness to include potential leaders in decisions that have a bearing on their work and perhaps in their lives (Axner). Before you can determine how to get somewhere you have to determine where it is that you would like to go. Within my journey of leadership, I believe my mission is to remember where I have been and where I will go, while maintaining positive relationships with family and friends. To build a reputation of being dedicated to every goal I choose to pursue while having successes in both my personal and professional life while having fun in my journey finding laughter, love, and happiness with each day.

Out of the three goals, (Personal, educational, and professional) I chose two of the goals that I am focusing on and that is my personal and educational goals. For my personal goals, I want to create a big picture of what I plan to do in life. Then I want to break them down in order to reach my goals, then once I have them together, then I would start working on them to achieve them. For example(Specific and Measurable goals), I plan on finding a job that has great benefits and the best rate of pay, and one that does not require working on weekends(Monday-Friday only), and not working overtime.

potential actions, two of which I have analyzed below to assess how to apply a SMART goal to the
