Answer:

SMART goal

Step-by-step explanation:

The term SMART as used in an objective setting is an abbreviation for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. It describes a goal that has all the components of the abbreviations. The goal has to have

  1. Specific: Well defined, clear, and unambiguous
  2. Measurable: With particular criteria that evaluate progress made in achieving the goal
  3. Achievable: Attainable and not impossible to accomplish
  4. Realistic: Within reach and relevant to life
  5. Timely: Has a clearly defined timeline, including a starting date and a target date.

The goal, as stated in the sentence, meets the above criteria. The objective is clear; progress can be determined; it is achievable and realistic. The timelines are well defined.
