PACT Goal Checklist

PACT goals are a great way to be more productive and focus long-term. It is a great alternative to a SMART goal as it focus on the output rather than a specific outcome. E.g.

• SMART – Finish the online Python course
• PACT – Spend an hour a day learning Python over the next 4 weeks

It’s about continuous growth rather than the pursuit of a well-defined achievement. Which makes it a great alternative to SMART goals. Use the following checklist to check your PACT goal:

• Purposeful – Is this goal meaningful to your long-term purpose in life, not just relevant to you right now?
• Actionable – Can you control the output of this goal right now?
• Continuous – Are the actions you take towards completing this goal simple and repeatble?
• Trackable – Is there a clearly defined “yes” or “no” output?
