Summarize

Summarize the books or articles you read. Don't just read and go away.

SMART Goal

A goal should be SMART.

Specific
Measurable
Achiavable
Realistic
Time-wise

E.g. I read chapter 10 of book xxx until 9pm today.

An example of non SMART goal is "I read a book today" because it is not specific.

To be continued

Vision vs Goal

Vision is what we want to have generally, whereas goal is a specific thing that we want to acheive for which we have a strategy plan with a specific time frame.

E.g. if my vision is to have a business empire in computer hardware industry in 10 years. A goal would be to find the list of 10 most successful businesses in computer hardware industry until 9pm today.
