I have a question about this episode The Science of Setting & Achieving Goals | Huberman Lab Podcast #55 and this Goal Setting Strategies Can you explain the SMART framework for setting goals?

In The Science of Setting & Achieving Goals | Huberman Lab Podcast #55, Andrew Huberman discusses the SMART framework for setting goals. This acronym stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound. Each aspect is integral to effective goal setting:

1. Specific: Goals should be clear and precise, leaving no room for ambiguity.
2. Measurable: There must be criteria for tracking progress and determining when the goal is achieved.
3. Attainable: Goals should be realistic and within reach, given the available resources and constraints.
4. Realistic: They must align with your broader objectives and capabilities.
5. Time-bound: Each goal should have a specific timeframe for completion.

An extension of this framework is the SMARTER approach, which includes Ethical and Rewarding as additional criteria. This method aims to ensure that goals are not only strategically sound but also morally aligned and personally fulfilling 1.
