𝙎𝙈𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝙂𝙤𝙖𝙡-𝙎𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 It’s that time of year again when we think resolutions, visions, goals, big, bold plans, turning over a new leaf / page and a host of other “things to do”. And, it’s usually exciting! One common and practical tool to help use is the 🆂🅼🅰🆁🆃 goal acronym –Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. It usually forms the centre of any discussion on goal setting. However, for this post, I have put a new spin on the term: 🆂 – 𝙎𝙚𝙩 𝙂𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙…
