The vision thing - dreaming not smarting

What do you want to achieve? I find it useful to apply the ‘DREAM’ (rather than SMART) framework to my goals:

• Deliverable – how, when, who etc will bring this goal about
• Real – how is the world going to be different when this goal is realised – how will things look, sound, feel... Different?
• Ecological – how does this goal balance with other goals or parts of your life?
• Affirmative – make sure the goal is phrased in the positive rather than the negative
• Mine – whose goal? This has to be your goal – “what am I going to achieve”
