Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask yourself where you'd like your life to be in the next few years. Build a goal from your broad ideas. Write out a specific goal. Separate short and long-term goals. Assess your goal to make sure it's manageable.

Answer: Developing a long-term goal requires a lot of thought about the future and what you want from it. To start developing a long-term goal, ask yourself where you'd like to be in the next five years. Think about what kind of work you'd be interested in, where you'd like to live, whether you'd like a family, and any other questions that might be important to you. When you have concrete answers to all of these questions, you'll have a clearer picture of what your ideal future will look like. Then, you can begin work on formulating a goal that will help you reach that future and ultimately get ahead in life. When you've brainstormed about the kind of future you want, you can start building a goal to reach that future. Look at the elements that make up your ideal future, and think about what kind of goal would lead to that future. That way, you can make sure your long-term goal will lead to a positive outcome for you. Your ideal future may be to be financially secure. This would involve getting a high-paying job. After doing some research, you decide that specializing in computer science would lead to a lucrative career. So, you set a long-term goal of getting your degree in computer science and working for a programming company. Vague goals are difficult to accomplish because there is really no way to track your progress. For long-term goals, lack of specificity can make them nearly impossible to complete. You need to be specific with your goals, especially long-term ones. That way you can stay focused and effectively measure your progress so you'll be able to tell if your goal is attainable. Your broad idea may have been to go back to school and get your degree. This is a great start and a great goal, but it is still too vague. When will you enroll? What will you major in? A better way to phrase that goal would be, "In the Fall semester I'm going to enroll in school to get my bachelor's in biology." This gives you a concrete goal, along with when you will start working towards that goal. In formulating a goal, it is possible you'll come up with a few different goals. Among these, there are probably several that are more short-term goals that won't require several years of commitment. As a general rule of thumb, goals that take a few months to a year are considered short-term. Goals that are longer than this are entering long-term territory. Separate short and long-term goals to make sure that your efforts are focused in the right areas. Weight loss, for example, is more of a short-term goal that takes a few months. Living a more healthy lifestyle, however, is a lifetime commitment. You should separate these two when assessing your goals. Certainly losing weight will contribute to a more healthy lifestyle, but much more time and a different kind of effort must go into changing your lifestyle. While it is good to dream big when making goals, setting goals that are too ambitious can result in frustration and lead you to give up. There are a number of ways you can tell if your goal is unmanageable.
