Which component of SMART goals ensures a deadline is set?

Specific Measurable Time-bound Achievable

Correct Answer:

Time-bound

Explanation:

Time-bound is the part of SMART goals that ensures a deadline is set. By tying the goal to a specific timeframe, you create a target date that guides planning, prioritizes actions, and makes progress easy to track. A deadline helps prevent drift and procrastination and gives you a clear moment to evaluate whether the goal is achieved. The other components shape what the goal is (Specific), how you measure success (Measurable), or whether it’s realistically doable (Achievable); they don’t inherently impose a time limit.
