When to move from open to SMART goals?

• Transition to SMART goals after 1–3 sessions, once the person has found activities they enjoy and feels ready for more direction.
• The hybrid goals serve as intermediate step: They are still open but have more structure
• The shift is not a “switch,” but a natural evolution as confidence and self-knowledge increase.
  

How to transition from OPEN goals to SMART goals?

• You can do this using three conversational steps:
  1. Reflect: “What have you discovered about what feels good or enjoyable so far?
  2. Focus: “What would you like to do more regularly or keep track of?”
• Specify: “How often and for how long could that realistically fit in your week?”
