SMART, HIME, and FAST are three powerful goal-setting frameworks designed to maximize success. SMART goals help create clear, specific, and time-bound objectives. HIME goals focus on building momentum through high-impact, minimal-effort actions. FAST goals emphasize frequent feedback, ambition, specificity, and transparency to adapt quickly in dynamic environments. Mastering these frameworks — and knowing when to use each — can dramatically increase goal achievement and long-term success.
