Goals? It’s Easy If You Do It Smart

The types of goals will be broken into two groups :

1. 1. Time-Based
      • Short-term goals: goals you want to accomplish immediate or the near future. That could a couple weeks, a month, six months or even a year. For example, a weekly goal of mine is to cook one meal. 
      • Long-term goals: Requires more planning, effort, and time to achieve than a short-term goal. For example, one of my long term-goals is to obtain my doctorate in Clinical child/family psychology. 
      • Lifetime goals: Any idea, dream, vision or purpose you have for yourself to achieve in your lifetime. For example, I want to travel to see some of the wonders of the world such as the pyramids, Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, Petra, etc.
   2. Life-Based: These can also be considered as stepping stones.
      • Career goals: professional ideas or visions that you want to achieve in your chosen career. For example, you want to get a promotion to a higher job or start your own business. 
      • Personal/Personal development goals: Ways to improve yourself and become the best person you can be. A couple of personal goals are to write a book and to read more books. 
      • Financial goals: Plan to help you manage your finances and control how you spend. You could create a monthly spending plan, save for retirement, pay off loans, etc. 
      • Spiritual goals: An intention to aim  on how to become closer to God. My goal: I want to work on daily devotionals, prayer, reading the Word. 
      • Health goals: Maintaining health and being fit (physically and mentally) Examples of adding more fruits and  vegetables to lunch and dinner. Drink more water a day. Exercise three times a week. 
      • Relationship goals: A few examples could be spending more time with family, self-care, get married, have children and etc. 

A lot of the types of  goals can overlap with each other.
