Question

how does setting a specific timeframe in which to complete a goal increase the chances of the goal being met? a. it creates accountability by establishing deadlines. b. it allows a goal - setter to say \ill reach that goal when i get to it.\ c. it allows a goal - setter to establish unrealistic goals. d. it does not allow short - term goals to feed into a larger goal. please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

• Option A: Setting a timeframe creates deadlines, which makes the goal - setter accountable as there's a clear time by which the goal should be met. This helps in increasing the chances of meeting the goal.
• Option B: Saying "I'll reach that goal when I get to it" implies a lack of a specific timeframe, so this is incorrect.
• Option C: A specific timeframe is more likely to help in setting realistic goals (by breaking down the goal into time - bound tasks), not unrealistic ones. So this is wrong.
• Option D: A specific timeframe actually helps in breaking a larger goal into short - term, time - bound goals, so short - term goals can feed into the larger goal. This statement is incorrect.

Answer:

A. It creates accountability by establishing deadlines.
