A specific goal has better chance of being accomplished than general goals. To set a specific goal you must answer the following questions:
- Who
- What
- Where
- When
- Which
- Why
Specific here means reasons, purpose or the benefits of accomplishing the goal.
- A general goal would be: "What is the role of binaries in globular clusters?"
- A specific goal would be: "Can I test if hard binaries during core collapse result in exchange interactions in the cluster core?"
Establish criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. This requires you to describes how each goal can be measured. When measuring your progress; stay on track and define target dates Ask yourself:
- How can I know that an objective is achieved?
- How can I evaluate the level of achievement?
After identifying a goal, write a plan.
Each goal should be achievable, and you should be willing to perform the necessary tasks. On the other hand, a goal should represents substantial progress but remain realistic.
Specify what needs to be done by when. This creates a sense of urgency, and it makes you accountable for future planning
