What is a SMART goal?

A SMART goal turns a vague idea • "get healthier," "learn a language" • into something specific enough to actually act on. SMART stands for:

Specific

A clear, concrete statement of what you'll do.

Measurable

A number or finish line you can check yourself against.

Achievable

Realistic given your actual time, resources, and skills.

Relevant

Tied to something that actually matters to you.

Time-bound

A real date, not "eventually."

Can I save or share the goal I create?

Yes. Once your goal is complete, you can save it, and share it by email, on X, or by copying the text.

What if I'm not confident my goal is realistic?

The Achievable step asks you to rate your confidence from 1 to 10, and nudges you if it looks like too big a stretch, or too easy, so you can recalibrate before committing.
