A SMART Method for Learning Something Over the last few days, I have heard a method for learning which called SMART. That's the abbreviation of five words, S=Specific、M=Measurable、A=Achievable、R=Relevant、T=Time-bound. I think the method is very practical, and I drawed a plan according to rules of SMART. Several days after, I found the hardest clause was the last principle “Time-bound”. I was a little disappointed by myself but I knew the reason, because I am not a student at school and I have a lot of other things to do both in office and home despite my learning still go on. So I balanced my mind and implemented my plan forward. Deadline may be postponed, Plan will be executed.

Recently I heard about the SMART method for learning.  SMART is the acronym for:  S = Specific, M= Measurable, A = Achievable, R = Relevant and T = Time Bound.  I believe this method to be very practical for the most part and I have used it to draw up a plan consistent with  the rules of SMART as modified to fit my particular life circumstances.

After using SMART principles for several days I discovered that the most difficult part of SMART is the very last principle:  Time Bound.  I became somewhat disappointed in my efforts to apply all the 5 principles of SMART due to the other daily tasks I have a responsibility to perform at work and at home.  I no longer have the time freedom I had once as a university student, but despite the time constraints of my present adult life I am determined to balance my life and keep faithful to my plan of continuing my education by moving forward towards that goal.  I will continue to move forward and use the acronym: B SMART.  The B, of course, stands for Balance, a necessary additional principle for my own personal success.

It may  take me a little longer to achieve that goal than I prefer due to the necessities of everyday life in the adult world, but in the end I will rely on my unbounded enthusiasm and determination to gain success and expand my knowledge regardless of the obstacles.  There is absolutely no limit to my determination to reach my goal and gain the knowledge that I seek.




A SMART Method for Learning Something

Over the last few days, I have heard a method for learning which called SMART. That's the abbreviation of five words,
S=Specific、M=Measurable、A=Achievable、R=Relevant、T=Time-bound. I think the method is very practical, and I drawed a plan according to rules of SMART.

Several days after, I found the hardest clause was the last principle “Time-bound”. I was a little disappointed by myself but I knew the reason, because I am not a student at school and I have a lot of other things to do both in office and home despite my learning still go on. So I balanced my mind and implemented my plan forward.

Deadline may be postponed, Plan will be executed.
