You now have your SMART goal and a schedule to see how you are doing. Congratulations, you are almost done.
Achieving goals can be lonely and difficult. It is not always easy. There can be a lot of people and events that can make it difficult.
Knowing what these events are is important to avoid them. Good goal setters think ahead to what difficulties they will encounter and plan for it.
Obstacles: The next step to do is to think of the obstacles you will encounter and the things you will have to give up. There are always going to be obstacles in the way. It may be homework, parents, little brothers, or babysitting. Whatever it is, you need to know what it is and prepare for it.
When you've identified your obstacles, you must figure out what you can do about them. Preplanning for them will help you avoid them and deal with them appropriately.
Write down your obstacles and what you will do to avoid them or fix them.

Sacrifices: Any goal with getting is going to require sacrifice. If it doesn't then it's too easy and too boring. You won't be motivated to do it. What are you willing to give up to accomplish your goal? It might be sleep. It might be not being able to hangout with your friends. It might be running in the rain when no one else is.
