Take some time to build your own "Personal Balanced Scorecard." Rather than a Scorecard for a company, this scorecard will be about your own personal goals, and how you can measure your progress towards them. Think of each of the traditional four perspectives in a way that can apply to your own life: Internal (health) perspective: This perspective is about the physical and mental well-being of an individual. Measures from this perspective should emphasize how someone can improve or maintain their physical and mental fitness Customer (external) perspective: This perspective has to do wth relationships with family members, friends, work colleagues, etc., and how you come across to them. Measures from this perspective should focus on improving relationships, such as time spent with family Learning & Growth perspective. This perspective focuses on how you as an individual are improving your knowledge and skill set, whether it is through school, training, or self- taught methods. An example would be hours of reading a week or attaining a certain grade in school. Financial Perspective: This perspective has to do with your own financial goals, whether it is saving a cetain amount of money every month or controlling your spending Remember that when setting your scorecard objectives that they should follow the SMART methad, Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainabie, Realistic, and Timely. Specific: Well defined, clear, and unambiguous Measurable With specific criteria that you can actually measure your progress towards the realizing this objective Attainable Attainable and not impossible to achieve, but also challenging enough Realistic Wihin reach, realistic, and relevant to your fe purpese Timely: With a clearly defined timeline, inluding a starting date and a target date fo completion.or at east an evaluation point.
