Question

You are trying to save up for a spa package that costs $300. After looking at your paycheck, you decide that you will be able to set aside $50 a week for the next 6 weeks. Knowing this information, you call the spa to make a reservation for this package for 2 months from now. Which type of goal does this situation best describe?

a.
Immediate
b.
Long term
c.
Short term
d.
Unrealistic

Answer 1

c. Short term

Reason: You're planning and achieving the goal within weeks to a few months (6 weeks to about 2 months), so it's a short-term, realistic goal.
