Create S.M.A.R.T. Goals


Boredom can result in a lack of motivation due to a lack of direction.  You might need to read that again.  Okay.  Do you have clear cut goals for your life?  Do you know where you want to be 5, 10, 15, 25, years from now?  Well if you like so many, are wandering around living life aimlessly with no direction of course you are going to be bored.
You might have tried setting goals for yourself before, but failed.  The reasons you might have failed in the past could be that they were too general, they weren't measurable, or attainable, they might not have been relevant to the big picture of where you want to be going in life, or they might not have had a time frame by which you could measure your success or failure by.
One way you can always remember to set smart goals is to remember, S.M.A.R.T. Goals.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals Are:
S)   Specific
M)  Measurable
A)  Attainable
R)  Relevant
T)  Time-Bound
