When it comes to setting of goals or goals setting,, it is expected to be in alignment with your priorities, needs and your values, you need to be specific about what you want and how you want it, be sure they are attainable goals, and lastly,,, endeavor to set a time frame for the achievement of those goals that has been set.

Goal setting helps both individuals and organizations to stay more focused and organized, it makes one to become more accountable making tracking of progress easy, it also enhances effective and efficient management of time which leads to increase in productivity.

We have short and long term goals, how can you differentiate them?

Short term goals are goals that are strategically set to be achieved within a short period of time which usually range within the period of some couple of days, a year or two. It is often centered on immediate tasks or objectives and it provide immediate benefits as well. While,,,

Long term goals in the other hand are goals that are set to be accomplished within a longer period of time which is usually within the period of several years, decade or even more depending on the goals that has been set which has long term benefits. Long term goals are broader and complex in scope and it requires a whole lot of effort put together to be able to achieve them.

Short term goals keeps me focused and motivated to keep pushing through in order to get to that point of achieving the long term goals. They both cannot work efficiently and effectively without each other,, so therefore, I need to work towards both types of goals to achieve greatness and accomplish my aspirations.

Tell us about your short and long term goals in 2025 and how you intend to achieve them.

Some of my short and long term goals includes,,,

• Being a bit financially stable that I won't necessarily need to ask for assistance before solving my needs.
