Relevant: Your aim should be specific in the direction of your ambitions. One method to this madness is determining if the goal benefits your overall end destination. For example, “I want to grow my social media audience by networking more.” Giving your goal a purpose is more permissible to your resolutions. 

Time-bound: Putting a start and end finish on your goal creates urgency and encourages time management, a super helpful skill you will use throughout your life. They should have a deadline to be able to identify how successful you are. This is important because it lets you set a pace for completion to see your efforts in real-time.
