# Decide what you want to get better at. The hardest step in completing your SMART goal is deciding what you want to get better at. It's important that you choose something that interests you, but it shouldn't be something you're very good at as it would be much harder to improve. For my SMART goal I chose to improve my writing. Other examples of potential topics are:

# Set your SMART goal. Now that you have a topic, it's time to set your SMART goal! It's important to remember to make your SMART goal overwhelmingly overwhelming as you physically can. My SMART goal was "to write 5 short stories of 3000 words each". When making your SMART goal it's important to remember to

#* Take note of all the activities you do before, during, and after school. Make sure you have a very good idea of your schedule. For me, I made sure to take note of speech, theater, work, and the work required to take four AP classes. Once you have a good idea of your schedule, disregard all of those things and create your SMART goal.

# Think about your SMART goal. What? You thought you were going to start working on your SMART goal? Well, I can assure you that is not the case. You should think about your SMART goal instead. Take time to plan out your SMART goal. Think of some ideas that could allow you to pursue your SMART goal, and how perfectly you will be able to accomplish it once you do start on it. But, and I can not stress this enough, DO NOT work on your SMART goal. Once you do, you'll realize that your plans won't match up with reality and that will bum you out. Continue using your imagination to envision a world where everything works perfectly. Trust me you'll be so much happier.

# Have bursts of motivation. The deadline is steadily approaching. You still have plenty of time, but now you want to get ahead. Bursts of motivation are the most fun part about meeting a SMART goal because they make you feel like you've gotten ahead which justifies procrastinating on it later without feeling guilty. During my SMART goal my motivation was on a pendulum which swang from "writing for 2 hours straight" to "doing nothing for like 2 weeks". To use these bursts of motivation follow these little tips.

# Realize you're in over your head. The deadline is finally within sight, and you haven't come close to meeting your SMART goal. Have the weight of school and your extracurriculars be crushing you, and regret choosing a SMART goal this overwhelming. Realize that it's your own fault for setting your goal too high. Remember to panic once as soon as the failure sets in.

# Lament on you failures. You're not ready, not done, and not feeling to good right now. In order to accept your fate and move on, you should reflect on your poor life choices. Ask yourself the following questions:

#*Did you enjoy your project? Frankly, I did not for the most part, but those random bursts of motivation are very fun.

#* Were you personally invested? I wouldn't say so. My goal was so overwhelming that I dissociated from it rather early on.
