Description and discussion on importance of short term goals
It has found that short term goals helps me to lay the groundwork for long-term goals for self-
improvement. Short-term objectives address areas that can be reached in a limited time or less
than a month. The simple nature of these goals helps to complete the goal quickly. Short-term
goals are often achieved through the repetition of simple tasks so that the task becomes part of
one's daily routine (Miller, 2020). One of the core importance for short term goals in their lie is
that this kind of objectives supports a person for succeeding in complex long-term goals by
taking small steps to achieve that person's long-term goal.
