Simple, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals should be set. Goals should be easy to understand and achieve with minimal effort for maximum output. They should have quantifiable measures of what is to be accomplished, such as the number of shoes to sell in a day. Goals also need to be reasonably achievable and not exceed one's abilities, as production may differ between workers. Goals must be relevant to what one wants to accomplish and include a specific timeframe for achievement.

2.  Simple goals
Goals that are very easy to
understand and achieved with
the minimum effort for the
maximum output

3.  Goals should be
measurable–goals are
measurable regarding
output.
E.g. how many shoes we would like
to sell in a day.

4.  Goals should be attainable
–goals are not complicated
to achieve or above our
own abilities.
If I am a slow worker, I will possibly
make fewer shoes in a day than my
colleague.

5.  Goals should be relevant –
goals are directly related to
what I want to achieve.
 Goals should be time-
bound–goals are achievable
within a specific time
frame.
