1. S for Specific.
The task that you perform in your life should be specific and defined. The job shouldn't be vague. It should tell your dreams and meet your goals. It will help if you are clear about what I am doing and why I am doing it.
2. M for measurable
The ideas or goals that you set must be measurable. It means that you should comprehend how much time it will take to complete or alternative ways to do it. You can make a timetable and try to insert your work into it so that you'll get an idea about the time taken by the task.

So the goals or the work that you set in your mind should be achievable for you. For instance, you are not interested in speaking Spanish, but you are pressuring your mind to do it because you want to talk like your friend. But this isn't going to work for you; your goals define you. Your goals shouldn't be defined by anybody else. It should meet your requirements, resources, and your overall interest in achieving it. So look ahead towards the goals that you love to do and feel are achievable.

The work you do should be vital and should be worth your time and effort. The interest and the trust to do the work should be at the peak, as you confirm that it's your life's path. It would help if you start giving respect to the job, and eventually, things will fall into place.
5. T for time-bound
The work you want to do smartly should be time-bound or a threshold to complete the job. If the work doesn't have time to end, it can make you feel disappointed with the effort that you have given to it. So choose and set a time to complete your work in time. Start searching about each and everything about the work so that you can perform it wisely and smartly.
