Three-month goals are?

• A. Long-term objectives spanning several years.
• B. Vague intentions with no metrics.
• C. Achievable targets that provide focus and regular review.
• D. Unhelpful goals that can't be adjusted.

Answer: (C)

Short-term targets set over a three-month period provide focus and enable regular review. This horizon is long enough to make real progress through manageable steps, yet short enough that you can see results and stay motivated with frequent check-ins. A three-month goal should be specific and measurable, with clear actions you can take and a simple way to track progress. Regular reviews let you celebrate wins, adjust strategies if needed, and keep momentum. Longer-term aims can feel abstract and hard to translate into daily habits, vague intentions with no metrics don’t guide concrete actions, and goals that can’t be adjusted ignore real-life changes that affect progress.
