Which feature of SMART goals ensures a clear deadline?

Specific Measurable Time-bound Achievable

Correct Answer:

Time-bound

Explanation:

Time-bound is the feature that ensures a clear deadline. It imposes a finish date or time frame for the goal, turning it into a scheduled target. With a deadline, you can plan backward from that date, set interim milestones, and prioritize tasks to stay on track. This creates accountability and focus, helping you allocate time and resources effectively. The other elements define what will be done (Specific), how you’ll know you’ve succeeded (Measurable), and whether the goal is realistically achievable (Achievable). Time-bound specifically anchors the goal to a concrete timeline, making the deadline explicit.
