Why is it important that goals be measurable

It is important for goals to be measurable because it adds to their specificity and allows you to track your progress toward your achievement. With measurable goals, you can know exactly what you are trying to accomplish and what you need to meet to improve. For example, if you set a goal saying, “I want to be doing 80 sit ups in a minute by the end of this month by increasing my total amount of sit ups by 4 a day” you are now not only able to track how much you are increasing each day, but can see your specific total you are working for and track your progress on your way to reaching that goal.

Always make sure to set realistic goals that follow the MAD guidelines:
M-Measurable
A- Attainable
D- Deadline Driven
