Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.

ALT Did You Know? Concept maps, sketchnotes, and other annotated jottings can facilitate deeper comprehension of materials than more polished drawings.
