Is my goal of getting my morning routine to less than 10 minutes a S.M.A.R.T. goal?
Specific:
Is it clear what the goal is? Will I know when I've reached it? Without a clearly defined goal, it will be difficult to focus on achieving it, and success will be by chance.
-Yes, I think my goal is specific. If my morning routine takes longer than 10 minutes, I haven't reached the goal. I've also already limited my scope, stating that reading, writing, and praying don't count; they're the reason for shrinking down the rest of the morning.
Motivational:
Is the goal, for lack of a better term, exciting? Do I want to succeed at this goal? If there's no reward or no principle involved in forming the goal, it may be difficult to continue applying effort.
-Yes, I think my goal is motivational. I know that reducing my get-ready time will give me time to read and write like I want.
Achievable:
Is the goal formulated in such a way that a path to success is easy to see? Can I form a plan for attaining the goal?
-Hmm, I don't know if it is really easy to see the path to success the way the goal is formulated. However, it may just be due to lack of a plan. But that's more my fault, rather than the goal not being achievable.
Relevant:
Does it make sense to use resources to attain this goal? Does it warrant priority, and does it relate to my larger goals?
-Yes, as a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ, I want to honor Him with my time. Part of that is making studying His word a priority in the morning. This goal is relevant.
Time-bound:
Does this goal have a deadline, or some temporal expectation?
-No, there is no deadline for any milestone in this project. This goal is currently not time-bound.
I think I need to make a plan and set some deadlines.
