Specific:

• A specific goal is clear, well-defined, and unambiguous. It answers the “what,” “why,” and “how” of your objective. 
• For instance, instead of saying “I want to get in shape,” a specific goal would be “I want to lose 10 pounds by running 3 miles three times a week and cutting out sugary snacks.”
• Specificity reduces confusion and helps you allocate your time to activities that directly contribute to your goal.

Measurable:

• A measurable goal is one that can be quantified or assessed in some way. It allows you to track your progress and determine when you have achieved it.
• In the example above, “losing 10 pounds” is a measurable goal because you can track your weight to determine if you’ve reached it.
• When you can measure your progress, you can adjust your time management strategies as needed to stay on track.
