The SMART method is the best framework I’ve found for actually accomplishing goals—whether it’s stockpiling a freezer for emergencies, staying on schedule with my Breach of the Citadel thriller series, losing weight, or any personal growth target. In this video, I break down the five parts: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (Time-constrained). Real examples: • Stockpiling a freezer (specific items, measurable quantities, realistic budget, relevant to family security, deadline-driven) • Releasing Breach of the Citadel Book 2 on time (milestones, word counts, editing deadlines) This isn’t fluffy advice—it’s a no-nonsense tool to turn “I should prep more” into “I finished X by Y date.” Works for preppers and anyone who wants results.
