Goal conflict

SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Goal conflict "arises when pursuing one goal interferes with the achievement of another, leading to emotional distress and potentially impacting well-being. This conflict can manifest in various forms, such as incompatible strategies for achieving different goals, or scarcity of resources needed for both goals. The experience of goal conflict is often linked to mixed emotions, where individuals experience both positive and negative emotions simultaneously, and can influence how individuals appraise their situations and prioritize their goals."
