Choose a time period – for example, three years time. Be specific and write down the date. For example, if you have chosen three years as your period and you are answering these questions in August 2011, you would date your answers as August
2014.
The purpose is to paint a picture of what you want your life to look like at that time. Stretch yourself into your vision but be realistic. Are all your answers SMART? (Specific? Measurable? Attainable? Relevant? Time-linked?)
