Everyone does hard work to achieve their goals or dreams but, the secret to accomplish these goals is your technique, your smartness.

If you want to be successful in your career, then learn to create your smart goals.

SMART goal means

  • S means Specific
  • M means Measurable
  • A means Actionable
  • R means Relevant
  • T means Time-bound

So, convert your goals, your ambitions into smart goals and avoid the confusions in pursue of your passion.

I’ve also plans for my career, like I want to do a PhD from a top-ranked university but to get a PhD scholarship is not an easy task. It needs a lot of hard work.

So, to achieve a guaranteed scholarship, I’m planning to write some review articles as it’ll clear my vision of interest and will also open opportunities for me.

But how will I write review articles?

There is a big difference in writing blogs and review articles, and I don’t the best techniques to write a review article and how to publish them.

So, My goal is to learn more about my field in more details to develop my interest and to take some classes from the experts and write at least two articles before the end of the second semester.

Let’s take a look whether it is smart or not.

Specific

Yes, I’ve made it specific. I’ve ordered a book to learn more about my field, and also I’ve joined weekly sessions on review article writing. In these sessions, the instructor is teaching from scratch.

Measurable

Yes, I’ve selected a few topics of interests and working on that daily.

Actionable

Yes, I’m taking the recorded sessions as it is online.

Relevant

Both the book and the sessions are relevant to my goal of review article writing.

Time-bound

I’ve made my self bound of writing at least two articles before the end of the second semester. It means almost 6–7 months.

It is the first step in the pursuit of getting a PhD scholarship, and I’ll try my best to achieve this opportunity.

Through taking these steps, I’m pretty much clear about my destination but, if you have anything to share or any suggestion, feel free to share it in the comments section below.
