You might've heard of so-called "SMART" goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. But we all know that people, companies, and governments are iffy at meeting the goals and resolutions they set.

That's why I'm disrupting the goal-setting space with a new innovation. Today, I propose STUPID goals. This framework helps you set goals that are infinitely more interesting and motivating than the old paradigm:

• Superfluous
  
• Transient
  
• Unreasonable
  
• Pricey
  
• Impossible
  
• Dumb

Sometimes it's also fun to use the alternative mnemonic:

• Selfish
  
• Terrible
  
• Unfocused
  
• Pointless
  
• Impulsive
  
• Drab

Happy New Year, and may all your dreams and goals - maybe even brainy ones - come to fruition!
