3. Short-term vs. Long-term ● Short-term goals are set to be achieved in a shorter time. These goals can be steps to helping you achieve your long term goal. – Example: The goal is to lose 20lbs in 3 months. A short- term goal would be to lose 5 lbs in the first two weeks. ● Long-term goals are realistic but need time in order to be achieved. Short-term goals can be used to help accomplish the long-term goal. – Example: Long-term goal is to lose 20lbs in 3 months
