S.M.A.R.T. goals are defined by five criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based. Each criterion helps in articulating goals that are clear, trackable, realistic, pertinent, and time-sensitive. Understanding and implementing S.M.A.R.T. goals can enhance goal achievement and planning.
