Being specific about the goals to be set is definitely something to consider, as vaguely set goals will not yield the desired results and will only lead to confusion and even procrastination.

Specific goals will help the individual focus better on the way and means it is going to take to see these goals accomplished.

Creating a measurable platform where the processes contributing to the goal can be monitored is also another important element to design.

Goals set should be attainable and within the realistic realm of the individual. Setting goals without these two considerations can cause adverse effects to the actual exercise or journey towards achieving the said goal.

Losing the initial excitement and momentum will further jeopardize the goal achieving exercise if the goals become more unattainable as reality sinks in.
