Discussion Topic 1
I have been through several situations where I set very unrealistic goals. One such instance is when I saved up money to make a large purchase even though the idea was not viable. I had planned to save a certain sum every week, but this proved to be a very difficult goal since I had challenges raising the required funds. The main issue with the goal was that it did not follow the SMART framework and was very unrealistic. I learned that it would be better to have a specific goal where I set a particular goal, such as, “I want a five-year-old car”, rather than having a general goal where I did not have a specific car in mind. The goal was measurable since I made plans to save around $500 a week, but the idea was not attainable. I had challenges raising the required amount. The entire goal was not realistic since I made a goal that I could not achieve. The goal was not time-bound since I did not set a specific deadline to have the money.
