If all your goals are long term, it can be discouraging and it becomes easy to lose focus. Nicki, nice point.

We use it at my workplace each year to set career development goals. Thanks for sharing your goals! I'm still looking to make my first $100 from my blog by next July (1 year mark)!

I think you're right on with your goal-setting parameters. The only thing I would add is that it's nice to have short and long-term goals, creating benchmarks for yourself. Being able to attain short-term goals gets me pumped up to achieve the long-term ones. Thanks! I like spelled out goals and intentions so this post appeals to me.
