The Limitations of SMART Goals
SMART goals, while specific and measurable, can sometimes hinder personal growth and exploration. They often limit curiosity and close off alternative approaches that may be more beneficial, as they imply a fixed solution to achieving a desired outcome. For instance, setting a goal to meal prep three times a week may overlook the need for enjoyment and flexibility in the process. This rigidity can create internal conflict, where the desire for convenience and ease clashes with the structured expectations of the SMART goal.
