"Why SMART Goals Don’t Work and What to Do Instead"

Episode Summary:

It's that time of year when goal-setting takes center stage, but are you making the right goals? In this episode of Clear & On Purpose, Christina breaks down why the widely used SMART goal framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-oriented) might be keeping you stuck in the cycle of setting goals you never fully achieve.

We’ll explore why SMART goals often fall short, how to connect your goals to a bigger vision, and how shifting from outcome-focused goals to process-driven habits can be the game-changer you need. If you're tired of setting the same goals every year and not hitting them, this episode will show you a more fulfilling, sustainable way to set goals that align with your purpose and get real results.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why SMART goals are limiting and what they miss.
• How to align your goals with your vision and emotional investment.
• The difference between process goals and outcome goals.
• How to break down big goals into achievable habits and daily actions.
• The importance of regular check-ins to stay on track and stay motivated.
• How to assess whether your goals are truly yours or just something you think you "should" want.

Key Takeaways:

• SMART goals can help with clarity but often lack emotional resonance.
• A meaningful goal needs to be connected to your deeper why and long-term vision.
• Focusing on what’s in your control—your habits and systems—leads to greater success.
• Regular progress check-ins prevent you from getting overwhelmed or losing sight of your goals.

Action Steps:

1. Reflect on your current goals: Are they aligned with your vision, or are they just SMART?
2. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable habits that you can implement daily.
3. Set up a system for quarterly and weekly check-ins to track progress.
4. Consider if your goals are truly yours—or if you're chasing something that doesn’t resonate with you anymore.

Resources Mentioned:

• Atomic Habits by James Clear (on systems vs. goals).
