The inverse of SMART Goals.
Vapid Goals
Vague Amorphous Pie in the sky Irrelevant Delayed
If you want to minimize the chances of ever achieving a goal, make sure it’s as vapid as possible.
"I will clean the whole house today"
Vague - no specific definition of what “clean” means. Vacuum? Sort? Do laundry? Amorphous - not measurable. how do you know you’re 25% done with cleaning the house? Pie in the sky - cleaning the entire house is a ton of work. Even a trained maid can’t do everything in a day. Irrelevant - is every part of the house really needed? Or could we just start with the laundry room Delayed - Eh, I’ll do it tomorrow instead.
