This document discusses how to create SMART objectives for stress-free productivity. It explains that SMART objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Objectives should answer the "W" questions to be specific, include how much and how many to be measurable, be ambitious but achievable, seem worthwhile and match goals to be relevant, and include milestones and due dates to be time-bound. The document also recommends objectives be ethical, exciting, recorded, and satisfy strategic vision for optimal results.
