Overview

Please just fill this box out.
It's really not that hard, and I'd rather not waste the space (or the bandwidth) to explain in detail.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time

Here's an exercise I want you to try at home.
Before you start a 4-H project, get out a blank sheet of paper.
At the top, write down why you want to be in this project this year.
Then, underneath that write down four or five things you broadly want to accomplish this year in this project.
Now, like any organized and motivated individual, lose the sheet of paper and don't look at it for three months.
If you followed the instructions, you will probably find that you have already made significant progress toward those four or five items you wanted to accomplish
If so, then take this opportunity to solidify your broad objectives into <strong>GOALS</strong>.
</p>
<p>
Goals are desired accomplishments that are <strong>SMARTY</strong>.
Here's what that means:
</p>
<p>Goals provide direction for your 4-H project. If you've ever gone to any motivational leadership conference, you've heard about goals far more than you could ever care to, but the facts show the people with goals acomplish more. Great, you say, how do you make goals? I'm glad you asked.</p>
<p>A goal is an objective or thing desired to happen with SMARTY attributes:</p>

<strong>Specific</strong><br/>
Goals must be to-the-point.
They cannot deal with more than one subject at a time.
A goal should only cover one area
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Bad Example</dt>
<dd>To walk my dog two miles every day this summer and teach her to fetch</dd>
<dt>Good Example</dt>
<dd>
To walk my dog two miles every day
<br />
To teach my dog how to fetch
</dd>
</dl>
This goal needed to be split into two goals.
Having more goals is great: just make sure that each goal stands alone.

<p>
<strong>Measurable</strong><br/>
Goals must have a fully objective way to tell if you've accomplished them or not.
Someone else should be able to objectively tell if you've met the goal or not.
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Bad Example</dt>
<dd>To shoot really well this year in .22</dd>
<dt>Good Example</dt>
<dd>To shoot an average of over 250 points over all my .22 practice shoots this year</dd>
</dl>
Measurable usually involves numbers or binary (true/false) statements.
Notice how this example added a way of measuring (average) and a quantitative target (over 250 points).
That is characteristic of measureable goals.
</p>
<h5>What about <em>To do better than last year?</em></h5>
<p>
Invariably, record books are turned in each year with the goal "to do better than last year."
Sometimes this is measurable, mostly it is not.
It would be far better to identify exactly what you want to improve and find a way to measure that.
If you do resort to this goal, you <b>MUST</b> keep your record book maticulously organised so that the judges can find how you did last year.

<p>
<strong>Achievable/Attainable</strong><br/>
Attaining the goals must be fully in your control, not another person, animal or circumstance.
<b>You</b> must be directly in charge of acomplishing the goal: it cannot depend partially on parents, animals, acts of nature, etc.
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Bad Example</dt>
<dd>To finish my market hog at a weight between 245 and 280 lbs.</dd>
<dt>Good Example</dt>
<dd>To learn how protein percentage in feed affects rate of gain in hogs</dd>
</dl>
This does not mean that you cannot ask for help acomplishing your goals, but you do need to be in charge and take initiative for your goals.
No human being can directly control an animal's behavior or weight, another persons opinions, or the weather.
Make sure that your goals do not try to alter these things.
