I go with the CSI approach. Challenging, Specific, Immediate and make them approach goals. I think specific and concrete overlap quite a bit, though sometimes I separate them out too. SMART goals are based on a early 1980 paper on project management for teams. Only tangentially relevant for individual motivation.
Personally, I use PICS: Positive, Immediate, Concrete, and Specific. Huge improvement when you actually use it to plan real goals.
PICS or it didn’t happen?

Is there anywhere I can read about this? Are there academic papers? E.g. what keywords would make a good query to find more about how to set goals.
Thanks! I’m going to try that.
