SMART vs STUPID Goal Setting: I'd rather set goals the STUPID way:)

As we reach the 100th episode, I am unveiling a better way for you to learn how to set goals. Instead of getting stuck setting SMART Goals, why not consider setting goals the STUPID way?- HAOIn this episode of OT Conversations, Hao, your occupational therapist, tackles the topic of goal setting. He critiques the traditional SMART format for goal setting, arguing that it often hinders practitioners from effectively documenting and achieving goals. Instead, Hao introduces the 'STUPID' approach, which stands for Service, Time, Unique, Problem-based, Integrated, and Dynamic. He emphasizes the importance of aligning goals with the service context, being mindful of time constraints, customizing goals to individual needs, focusing on problems, integrating goals across disciplines, and maintaining flexibility. Through this new framework, Hao hopes to transform goal setting into a more practical and effective practice for occupational therapists.
