# Goals

**Four pillars method for goals** (Came up with this on 2022)

Create goals based on the these 4 categories and track on yearly, monthly and weekly basis.

* Health
* Social / Personal
* Finance
* Career

### SMART Goal Technique

* Specific – The more narrowly defined your goal, the better you will know the steps to achieve it
* Measurable – If your goal is measurable and has a money value, you can track your progress against it.
* Achievable – It is always better to make sure that you can reasonably attain your goal. If it’s not achievable, it will always be out of reach
* Realistic – You should have confidence that you can realistically achieve your goal with all the resources available to you.
* Time-bound – without a time value, a goal becomes open ended, and you could lose the motivation to achieve it
