How to go about it?
Well, there are various techniques.
- Break down larger goals into smaller steps and track your progress.

You can also set your goals using the “SMART Goal” technique.
“SMART Goal” is a checklist that helps you underline whether your desired goal is:
- Specific?
- Measurable?
- Achievable?
- Relevant?
- Time-Bound?
Whenever you set your goal, check whether all the elements of “SMART Goal” apply to it. If yes, then go ahead; if not, you need to re-think your goal and make it “SMART”.
