S.M.A.R.T. Goals - Time-bound

by

Every goal needs a target date, so that you have a deadline to focus on and something to work toward.

A time-bound goal should answer these questions:
🔹️When?
🔹️What can I do six months from now?
🔹️What can I do six weeks from now?
🔹️What can I do today?

Example

Gaining the skills to become a Sr. Web Developer may require additional training or experience. How long will it take you to acquire these skills? Do you need further training, so that you’re eligible for certain exams or qualifications? Give yourself a realistic time frame for accomplishing the smaller goals that are necessary to achieving your final objective.

Example

You might need to ask yourself whether developing the skills required to become a supervisor in your department is realistic, based on your existing experience and qualifications.
