Road to happiness contest
August 7, 2007
I’m going to enter ING’s Road to Happiness contest. (Which ends this month.) Of course it will be nice if I win, but I also want to try setting a goal or analyzing a past goal using their rules. Their rules include more than the usual S.M.A.R.T. components (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, & timely). They also want you to be creative. Entrants will be “assigned a composite score by the Judges based upon the following weighted criteria: creativity (40%), reasonableness of goal (30%), simplicity (20%), and authenticity (10%)”. I’ve never consciously sat and thought, “hm, how can I use creativity to set or achieve a goal” before. Doing so may yield some interesting results.
Just wanted to say good luck! I say if it doesn’t take a long time, why not give it a shot, you have nothing to lose :)
