S.M.A.R.T.

Welcome to quite possibly the most tidiest tasks some corporate big shot came up with: S.M.A.R.T. Objectives.

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely

Now don't get me wrong... It is a very useful thing to have when somebody else creates the objectives. But when you are forced to look at a full year of ministry and map out dates and objectives, it is a daunting and tidiest task that I'm sure most of the professional world does not perform.

After finishing the majority of my S.M.A.R.T. Objectives for my DCE Intern job description it came out to be 11 pages of goodness. I am certain that this document will prove useful later on in the year it was just very difficult to complete this early on in the internship especially with only three weeks until college starts up.

I feel like I will end up using the S.M.A.R.T. Objective document and adapting it to what works best with the way my mind processes information. In a list :)

In conclusion, lets remember to be S.M.A.R.T. about the things we do in life because there is no such thing as over-planning.
