Three months

Setting a limited time helps you understand the importance of building a plan and process to achieve the goal you've set. The ideal time may vary depending on the goal. However, three months is often effective for achieving development goals.

1. Three months is enough "runway" time to make clear progress. The period forces us to be specific in our goals.
2. Three months aligns with many natural rhythms, such as quarterly reporting or updates.
3. Three months forces us to break down longer-term goals into achievable parts.
