the SMART system is good and I recommend it but you need more. try approaching goal setting like this;

1. WHAT?
exactly what is your goal? use the SMART principles here to help make the goal be in an achievable format

2. WHY?
what are your reasons for wanting to achieve this goal? how will it improve your life? how will achieving it make you feel? this is crucial. try and come up with three strong reasons

3. HOW?
what is your plan to achieve the goal? what steps need to be taken? what sub goals need to be achieved? try and keep it to 5 or less steps if possible

try it with a goal and post it here and I'll offer some feedback to and help you get it as good as possible
