Which SuPeRSMART component ensures the goal is realistically achievable?

• A. Self-controllable
• B. Relevant
• C. Public
• D. Attainable

Answer: (D)

Attainable focuses on feasibility. It asks whether, given current resources, time, skills, and constraints, the goal can realistically be reached. Setting an attainable target means you can map a practical path with concrete steps, timelines, and supports, which keeps motivation high and progress measurable. If a goal is too far out of reach, it tends to stall efforts; if it’s appropriately challenging and feasible, you can plan actions, anticipate obstacles, and adjust as needed. The other aspects shape different dimensions—autonomy, alignment, and accountability—but only attainability directly ensures the goal can actually be achieved.
