How To Set Short Term Goals.

The Difference Between Short and Long Term Goals



Goals are classified into two categories: short-term goals and long-term goals. You will be able to accomplish a short-term goal in approximately 6 to 7 weeks, while it will usually take three to five years to reach a long-term one. Sometimes you can attain a short-term goal in fewer than three weeks and a long-term one may take more than five years to complete.

To achieve each long-term goal, you must first accomplish a series of both short-term goals and additional long-term goals. For example, let's say you aspire to become a doctor. That may be your ultimate long-term goal, but before you can tackle it, you must achieve a few others, for example, complete college (four years), medical school (another four years), and a medical residency (three to eight years).

Along the road to reaching those long-term goals, there are several short-term goals to clear first. They include excelling in entrance exams and applying to college, medical school, and eventually residencies. Since grades matter when it comes to achieving those goals, it is necessary to break your short-term goals down even further, like earning a high-grade point average.

How to set short term goals

  1. 1. Have specific goals. You might say, "I want to be successful." Well, who doesn't? But can you define what success means? Success to one person may mean becoming CEO of a company while to another person it may mean getting home from work by 6 p.m. every day.
  2. 2. Don't be negative. Your goal should be something you want rather than something you want to avoid. It is much better to say, for instance, "I want to improve my skills over the next four years so that I qualify for a better job" than "I don't want to be stuck in this job for another four years."
  3. 3. Be realistic. Your long-term goals must be compatible with your abilities and skills. Stating "I want to win a Grammy Award" if you can't sing or play an instrument will set you up for failure.
  4. 4. Your goal must be reachable within your time frame. Break a long-term goal down into smaller goals. It is better to take baby steps than one big giant leap.
  5. 5. Pair each goal with an action. For instance, if your goal is to become a writer, sign up for a writing class.
